The
OSU/NOAA Cooperative Institute for Marine Resources
Studies (CIMRS) represents a strong, long-term, NOAA-university
partnership dedicated to research in marine science, graduate
and public education, and cooperation with regional industries
and communities that are dependent on marine resources.
An
integral part of the OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center
(HMSC), CIMRS is a model cooperative institute for many reasons.
By its co-location with three regional NOAA laboratories representing
two NOAA Line Offices, the Institute is able to bring together
research partners from a variety of disciplines to address
complex multidisciplinary issues relating to the living and
non-living components of the marine environment.
