The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and the world. Our work helps shape sound policies, inform public opinion, and advance the pursuit of science, engineering, and medicine.
The Gulf Research Program funds grants, fellowships, and other activities in three broad areas: research and development, education and capacity, and monitoring and synthesis. Activities are focused on the Gulf of Mexico region and other U.S. coastal and outer continental shelf regions where human communities, ecosystems, and energy production co-exist. Work that transfers knowledge to or from other places in the U.S. or other nations is included in this focus.
