Funding Opportunities
Alaska Sea Grant research funding
As part of our core mission to help Alaskans understand, conserve, and sustainably use our rich and diverse marine and coastal resources, Alaska Sea Grant supports a number of formal, peer-reviewed research projects through a biennial call for proposals.
The next call for preliminary proposals will be in 2013 for funding beginning February 2014. To place your name on our mailing list, send a message to seagrant.research@alaska.edu.
Alaska Sea Grant program development and rapid response funding
Limited funds for "program development and rapid response" may be available between normal funding cycles. These funds allow us to take advantage of unforeseen and time-limited opportunities:
- to stimulate new areas of research
- to stimulate new areas of investment by other funding sources and/or stakeholders
- to respond quickly to new issues and opportunities
- to accommodate "transition" problems such as temporary funding gaps in critical ongoing projects
Prior to submitting a request for funds, please discuss your ideas with Alaska Sea Grant Director David Christie.
If funds are available and your request meets current priorities, you will be asked to submit a 1- to 2-page written request that includes a project description, a justification of the need for development funds, and a budget outline. A response will normally be provided within 1–2 weeks of this submission.
For information on research recently funded by Alaska Sea Grant, please see our project directory.
National Sea Grant funding
National Sea Grant research
Each year, the National Sea Grant Program (NSG) provides a variety of competitive funding opportunities for specific coastal and marine research. These are posted at the Sea Grant Requests for Proposals page. National Sea Grant proposals are typically administered by the state Sea Grant College. Questions are welcome.
