The West Coast and Polar Regions Undersea Research Center of NOAA's
Undersea Research Program invites pre-proposals for research and
technological innovation beginning in 2008. Programmatic themes for this
solicitation are (1) the International Polar Year and (2) technological
innovation in marine ecosystem and fisheries research. This departure
from the Center's traditional call for full proposals has been developed
in response to ongoing budget uncertainties. It is anticipated that a
limited number of full proposals will be requested from those submitting
pre-proposals in this solicitation. Funding decisions are expected early
in 2008.

The West Coast and Polar Regions Undersea Research Center supports
highly rated, peer-reviewed proposals to conduct undersea research in
the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions, Alaska, and the U.S. West Coast,
including the northeastern Pacific and waters off California, Oregon,
and Washington.

Pre-proposals must be submitted by 19 October 2007.
