RI Endeavor Program
Since 2005, the State's annual budget has
allocated $500,000 for support of operations of the research vessel
Endeavor, which has been operated and managed by URI's Graduate School
of Oceanography for over 30 years. The GSO Dean administers the funds
via the "Rhode Island Endeavor Program" (RIEP), described elsewhere on
this website. The purpose of RIEP is to provide Rhode Islanders with
direct access to the scientific research and educational capabilities
of an ocean-going research vessel. To this end, the Dean has
constituted an "Endeavor Advisory Committee" (EndAC) to provide advice
and guidance on the administration of the RIEP. Terms of reference for
EndAC, and the current membership, are provided on this website. EndAC
solicits, reviews, and prioritizes projects and activities to use state
funding in affiliation with the RV Endeavor according to a process
presented on this website. EndAC recommends projects for support, and
the GSO Dean makes final funding decisions.
