All IODP LEAP Submission Deadlines Have Passed
The Proposal Database System (PDB) is the web-based interface for completing and submitting IODP proposals, including LEAPs. PDB offers specific guidance and many proposal components are created interactively; proponents are advised to begin working with PDB as soon as a proposal is planned. Please note that simultaneous users are not supported; generally, the proposal lead is the most appropriate person to access PDB and submit a proposal. Complete proposal preparation guidance, format requirements, and review policies are explained in the IODP LEAPs Proposal Submission Guidelines
A Call for LEAP Proposals is usually published at least two months in advance of the deadline. Read the Call for LEAP Proposals carefully before proceeding, as details might have changed from previous Calls. For Preliminary Proposals, it is strongly recommended that proponents contact the appropriate IODP Curator(s), data manager, or other legacy asset manager before proposal submission in order to discuss sampling needs and data availability. This step is required for Full Proposals. The IODP Proposal Manager has sole authority to accept proposals.
