Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (CIMAR; previously JIMAR)
On October 1, 2021, the Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR) was replaced by the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (CIMAR). JIMAR was established in September, 1977, by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM). The principal NOAA lab with which CIMAR collaborates is the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) on Oahu Island, Hawai'i. Since 1988, JIMAR has been part of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) within UHM. CIMAR will continue as part of SOEST, and aspires to improve upon the important collaborative and supportive functions between NOAA and UH that were entrusted to JIMAR.

- A broader perspective of synergistic research within CIMAR and UHM is provided by the recorded presentations and posters from the Third JIMAR Symposium "New Technologies Driving Ocean Science Breakthroughs" that was held at the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center at the East-West Center, Honolulu, HI, on Nov. 15, 2019.
