The Maine Sea Grant College Program invites preliminary proposals for research projects to be funded in the period February 2014 through January 2016. Proposed research activities may be one or two years in duration, for the period between February 2014 and January 2016. Total two year requests for a given project may not exceed $150,000 (including all direct and indirect costs) in Sea Grant funds. Assuming no changes in the federal Sea Grant appropriation and the requirements of the non-research components of the Maine Sea Grant program, an estimated $600,000 will be available to support research projects over the two-year funding period.
Preliminary proposals are due Friday, February 22, 2013.
Through the biennial request for proposals, Maine Sea Grant strives to sponsor a diverse research portfolio that links the scientific capacity of Maine with the needs of coastal stakeholders. Maine Sea Grant is administered by the University of Maine, but the research competition is open to faculty and staff at any public or private research or higher education institution in the state.
Please distribute as appropriate; advanced apologies for any cross-postings.
Sincerely,
