COVID-19 INFORMATION for Expedition Participants
While COVID restrictions remain in force UK IODP is able to provide assistance to cover extra costs incurred as a result.
During this time expeditions are likely to run with reduced scientist numbers onboard and with extended Onshore Science Parties. Onshore Science Party participants who were part of the original Shipboard Science Party will still be eligible to apply for moratorium grant funding.
All participants will need to ensure their institutional insurance covers travel to and from the ship and or science party location, any pre-boarding testing processes and medical cover.
Please contact NERC (iodp@nerc.ukri.org) for further information regarding additional support available and eligibility prior to submitting a grant application.

New scheme to support UK scientists with IODP-related Activities
We are pleased to announce that the current phase of the UK IODP research programme (2020-2024) includes a new scheme to support UK scientists to undertake small scale IODP related activities. This could include but is not limited to the organisation of, or participation in, workshops, training, outreach or other events. Any activity that benefits UK IODP will be considered for funding. Applicants can apply for between £2k and £10k
Applications will be accepted from individuals employed by a UK research organisation and should include a description of what the funding will be used for and an explanation of its relevance to IODP. Any proposed workshops must make use of IODP samples, data, and/or results, or involve planning for the collection of such materials.
