BP cash for Gulf of Mexico R&D

摘要

The BP-backed Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GRI) issues a request for proposals 'RFP-I' with the aim of establishing 'four to eight' research consortia with a minimum of $37.5 million per funding. The consortia will be tasked with studying the effects of the Deepwater Horizon incident on the Gulf of Mexico. In particular, research will seek to understand the impact of oil and dispersant on ocean and coastal systems, and to establish how the marine environment responds to large accidental inputs.
