Alaska Sea Grant officials are inviting researchers to submit pre-proposals for projects to be undertaken from 2020 through 2022, with an application deadline of Feb. 15, 2019.
The application process is open to investigators at academic, research and educational institutions throughout Alaska.
Projects must benefit priority information needs of Alaska Sea Grant and the state. They must also advance knowledge in at least one of four focus areas: healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, resilient communities and economies, and environmental literacy and workforce development.
About $500,000 annually is to be awarded across all projects. Sea Grant officials said they anticipate inviting 10 to 15 researchers to submit full proposals after the pre-proposals are reviewed. Most funded projects will be completed within two years, with budgets averaging about $100,000, not including graduate student funding.
