National Defense Center of Excellence for Research in Ocean Sciences The CEROS Program was created under a initial $5 million grant provided by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 1993. CEROS seeks to advance innovative concepts and new approaches to technology while fully leveraging existing facilities and infrastructure in Hawaii and demonstrating beneficial commercial utility for the Department of Defense (DoD). CEROS solicits proposals through annual competitive Solicitations. All proposals are evaluated by an expert panel for technical merit, innovation, and value according to criteria published in the solicitations. The CEROS Research Advisory Board determines the best proposals based on critical evaluations. Since 1993, the CEROS Research Programs have funded a total of 206 projects at a value of $76,67,096 million. CEROS' mission is to support the Department of Defense technology requirements; encourage leading edge R&D in ocean sciences and technology in Hawaii; foster use of ocean R&D facilities in Hawaii; provide an interface between specialized small businesses with expertise in ocean related R&D and DoD users of advanced technology; and develop avenues to ocean science expertise and facilities at the University of Hawaii (UH). |
