ORR STAFF SPECIAL PROJECTS
This is a pilot program to promote professional
development of ORR Staff. The Center will fund up to two projects
whose purpose is to solve a needed ORR problem, improve a model
or develop a tool, or synthesize research on a particular subject
of interest to ORR and the Coastal Response Research Center. These
projects will have a hard deliverable within a maximum 6-week time
period.
