IODP & The Canadian Consortium for Ocean Drilling (CCOD)

The Canadian Consortium for Ocean Drilling (CCOD) is a consortium composed of Canadian universities and government agencies formed to facilitate Canada's participation in the IODP.

The CCOD has the following objectives:

• Advocate and encourage Canadian participation in the IODP and ECORD.
• Develop proposals and applications for IODP funding.
• Demonstrate to NSERC the importance to our universities, government agencies and industry groups of Canadian participation in IODP.
• Plan for long term stable funding for Canadian IODP membership and science support.
• Provide advice and guidance to the IODP Secretariat concerning the management of Canada's participation in IODP.
• Disseminate IODP information to the Canadian community and public.
• Organize Canadian activities related to IODP including outreach and training activities.
  
  

The CCOD directly supports the operational costs associated with IODP participation and planning for long-term, stable funding for IODP membership through an annual membership fee.
