You are invited to complete this brief survey to share your perspectives. Please feel free to distribute this email widely to individuals, programs, or institutions that may be experiencing programmatic impacts from federal funding reductions to ocean research programs. Survey responses will be compiled and analyzed by the Trusts. All information received through this survey and subsequent analysis will be shared in an aggregated format; no information shared publicly will be traceable to any individual respondent or institution.

Given that uncertainties are likely to persist, with further potential changes to federal science funding programs, we intend to analyze survey responses at the end of December 2025 but will leave the survey open to continue to collect information well into 2026.​

Thank you in advance for taking the time and making the effort to complete the survey. If you have questions about this survey or the associated Ocean Science Action Agenda please reach out to us at: https://www.oceanscienceagenda.org/contact.
