Maine Sea Grant accepting research project proposals
The Maine Sea Grant College Program is accepting preliminary proposals for research projects to be funded from February 2018 through January 2020.
Maine Sea Grant seeks proposals for research that links the scientific capacity of Maine with the needs of coastal stakeholders, as well as synthesis efforts that will integrate knowledge from diverse sources to summarize the current understanding of coastal Maine issues, identify gaps in knowledge, and outline future research directions.
Preliminary proposals are due Feb. 24.
An estimated $750,000 will be available to support research projects over the two-year funding period. Maine Sea Grant will consider funding proposals from $50,000 to $150,000.
Although Maine Sea Grant is administered by the University of Maine, the research competition is open to faculty and staff at any public or private research or higher education institution in the state.
Additional guidelines and forms are online. For more information, contact Rachel Lasley-Rasher at sgresearch@maine.edu.
