IODP offers numerous avenues for members of the scientific community to become involved with the program. First, if you are interested in IODP research, we highly recommend you sign-up for the US-IODP listserve. The listserve is used by the U.S. Science Support Program and the U.S. Implementing Organization to announce news and opportunities of interest to the U.S. IODP community. Below are ways you can participate in IODP research, data collection, and program policy:

• request DSDP/ODP/IODP data to use in your research
• participate in pre-cruise planning (e.g., attend or convene a workshop, pre-drilling research)
• apply to sail on an IODP expedition
• volunteer to serve on an IODP avisory panel
• volunteer to serve on the U.S. Advisory Committee for Scientific Ocean Drilling
• participate in preparing a drilling proposal
• share your discoveries with scientists, educators, and students
