The CCOD has the following objectives:
- Advocate and encourage Canadian participation in IODP and ECORD
- Develop proposals and applications for IODP funding
- Help the community to develop proposals and applications for IODP expeditions
- Represent the Canadian community on IODP and ECORD committees and panels

The CCOD directly supports the operational costs associated with IODP participation and planning for long-term, stable funding for Canadian IODP membership through an annual membership fee. Membership in the CCOD is open to all Canadian universities, government agencies and industry groups with a commitment to Canada's participation in the IODP.
