[SEMCO] Woods Hole Sea Grant Call for Proposals and Information Meeting

[Judith McDowell]

*Woods Hole Sea Grant (WHSG) Request for Proposals for the 2018-2020 
Omnibus*

WHSG is pleased to announce the request for proposals for the 2018-2020 
Omnibus. WHSG supports research, education, and extension projects that 
encourage environmental stewardship, long-term economic development, and 
responsible use of the nation’s coastal and ocean resources. It is part 
of the National Sea Grant College Program (NSGCP) of the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a network of 33 individual 
programs located in each of the coastal and Great Lakes states. Sea 
Grant’s legislative charge is to “increase the understanding, 
assessment, development, utilization, and conservation of the nation’s 
ocean and coastal resources by providing assistance to promote a strong 
educational base, responsive research and training activities, and broad 
and prompt dissemination of knowledge and techniques.” During the 
current 2016-2018 funding cycle, WHSG is supporting 12 concurrent 
research projects. It is anticipated that approximately $500,000 per 
year will be available to support research projects during the 2018-2020 
funding cycle.  Sea Grant proposals require a match of $1 of non-federal 
funds for every $2 of federal funds requested. In keeping with the 
strategic plans of the NSGCP and Woods Hole Sea Grant, the theme areas 
for 2018-2020 are Healthy Coastal Ecosystems, Sustainable Fisheries and 
Aquaculture, Resilient Communities and Economies, and Environmental 
Literacy and Workforce Development.

Individuals interested in the WHSG omnibus are encouraged to attend an 
open meeting discussing the process on February 9, at 2:00 p.m., in 
Redfield Auditorium. For further information, including a calendar of 
important dates, submission requirements, and a list of current 
projects, please visit our website at www.whoi.edu/seagrant
