Abstract
The new Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) is now well underway, using the drillship JOIDES Resolution (SEDCO/BP 471). Eight legs have been drilled, and the results so far have been excellent.The National Science Foundation (NSF) is responsible for overseeing ODP and provides the U.S. contribution to the internationally funded program. In addition, NSF provides support for U.S. drilling‐related science activities. The total ODP U.S. science budget for FY 1986 is $6.8 million. Over 50% of this funding goes to support certain activities: regional or topical planning workshops initiated by U.S. scientists, attendance by U.S. scientists at Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES) panel meetings, shipboard participation by U.S. scientists, postcruise scientific studies related to publication of initial reports, and the U.S. Science Advisory Committee.
