The National Oceanographic Partnership Program [NOPP] was established in Fiscal Year 1997 through Public Law 104-201. Supplemental legislation for appointments to the NOPP oversight body, the National Ocean Research Leadership Council [NORLC] and the Ocean Research Advisory Panel [ORAP] is contained in Public Law 105-85, the FY 1998 Defense Authorization Act. The Secretary of the Navy is charged in Subtitle E of title II, Division A, Public Law 104-201 to establish a National Oceanographic Partnership Program to: 1) promote the national goals of assuring national security, advancing economic development, protecting quality of life, and strengthening science education and communication through improved knowledge of the ocean; and 2) to coordinate and strengthen oceanographic efforts in support of those goals by - a) identifying and carrying out partnerships among Federal agencies, academia, industry, and other members of the oceanographic scientific community in the areas of data, resources, education, and communication, and b) reporting annually to Congress on the Program. This report of the Fiscal Year 1999 Partnership Program meets that statutory requirement.

Established in Fiscal Year (FY) 1997, the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) promotes the goals of assuring national security, advancing economic development, protecting quality of life, and strengthening science education and communication through improved knowledge of the ocean. The National Ocean Research Leadership Council (NORLC), comprising leaders of fifteen Federal agencies, guides NOPP in identifying and carrying out partnerships among Federal agencies, industry, and other members of the ocean sciences community in support of those goals. In FY 2004, NOPP developed a new Ten-Year Strategic Plan with four goals: (1) Achieve and Sustain an Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS); (2) Promote Lifelong Ocean Education; (3) Modernize Ocean Infrastructure and Enhance Technology Development; and (4) Foster Interagency Partnerships to Increase and Apply Scientific Knowledge. The overall fiscal investment in NOPP generally consists of two types of efforts. NOPP-Funded Activities are those that are either solicited or managed by NOPP and involve support from two or more agencies. Overall investment in NOPP-Funded Activities, which totaled $31 million in FY 2006, has increased significantly since the program's inception. By issuing proposal solicitations from FY 1997 to FY 2006, NOPP has funded 110 projects, including 21 renewal projects. Of the total funds awarded during this period, approximately 59 percent, 25 percent and 16 percent were awarded to academia, government and industry (including non-governmental organizations/others), respectively. Three new projects were funded in FY 2006 focusing on models for coastal sediment transport, understanding and predicting climate using the Argo float system, and analyzing the ocean sciences, technology and operations workforce.
