Approximately $1 million will be available to support 5-10 research projects during the two-year funding period. Sea Grant proposals require a match  of $1 of non-federal funds for every $2 of federal funds requested.

Eligibility

Lead Principal Investigators for proposed projects must be staff or faculty at any public or private research or higher educational institution within the state of Massachusetts. Co-PIs outside the state of Massachusetts may be funded through sub-awards from the lead PI’s institution. Researchers are eligible to submit only one pre-proposal as lead PI, but may serve as a co-PI on other proposals.

Contact information

Questions should be directed to Jennie Rheuban (Research Coordinator) or Matt Charette (Director) via email at seagrant-research@whoi.edu.
