11) Do you believe that there is overlap or duplication in the 

 undersea research activities funded by NURP, Sea Grant, the 

 National Science Foundation and the Navy? How can we better 

 coordinate undersea research? 



Answer: Close coordination by the program managers at each 

 agency eliminates overlap in the activities funded. Also, the 

 peer review process is usful in identifying, and hence 

 precluding, duplication.
