The Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center (LMRCSC) has been re-funded by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Educational Partnership Program. IMET is a partner in this program, with Dr. Rosemary Jagus directing the UMCES@IMET LMRCSC Program. The LMRCSC was established in 2001 as a partnership with NOAA to 1) increase the number and diversity of students who are trained in NOAA-related sciences and those who receive degrees annually in NOAA core science areas, and 2) increase the number of collaborative research projects and peer-reviewed publications between scientists at MSIs and those at NOAA and other institutions, agencies and laboratories. The latest award funds the Program through 2016.
