California Sea Grant Research Funding for New Faculty


California Sea Grant is now soliciting applications for one-year research projects by early-career faculty. Proposals, up to $60,000, will support the research of a new faculty member employed at a California-based university to address topics aligned with California Sea Grant’s strategic plan and state priorities.

In order to help align faculty research proposals with state needs, this solicitation includes information from the Resources Agency Sea Grant Advisory Panel (RASGAP) identifying state research priorities within the context of Ocean Protection Council’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan to Protect California’s Coast and Ocean.  Input from RASGAP helps advance science that supports coastal and ocean management and policy decisions in California.

This year, additional emphasis will be on proposals that respond and target objectives specific to California Sea Grant’s Resilient Coastal Communities and Economies and Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture focus areas. Please read the full Request for Proposals for details and application instructions.

Deadlines:

Letters of Intent: May 18, 2020 – 5 PM PT

Full Proposals: June 15, 2020 – 5 PM PT
