Cooperative Agreement(5.5 yrs of construction, 2 years of
operations)
Cooperative Support Agreements(for each of the 3 types of funding)
These are the binding agreements between NSF and Ocean Leadership that set the terms and conditions for managing and implementing the OOI infrastructure.

Initial award is for 5.5 years of construction, then another 2 years of full-time operations.
System consists of high latitude moorings, coastal moorings, cabled sea-floor systems, all connected via sophisticated cyber-infrastructure.

Challenges and Opportunities
Design changes & funding delays led to considerable cynicism and disillusionment in the community
First steps in mitigating misconceptions: Science Workshop Nov 11-12 in Baltimore Science Workshop ~ April, Western US Defined proposal process Science scenarios for future proposals

Challenges and Opportunities
Other steps in generating excitement about ocean observing:
encourage dialogue at your institutions, particularly in the context of
- long-term implications of facilities - new approaches for conducting research
