[SEMCO] 2017 Sea Grant Aquaculture Initiative

[Judith McDowell]

The 2017 Sea Grant Aquaculture Initiative includes two competitive 
funding opportunities.  The Woods Hole Sea Grant Program is responsible 
for some preliminary steps, including determining a /maximum of three 
proposals/ that can be submitted for one of the competitions, and 
gathering and submitting Letters of Intent for the other competition.  
Please read the Initiative RFPs carefully before submitting a Letter of 
Intent as we will be evaluating the letters for the smaller competition 
as a basis for selecting ideas that can be the basis for a maximum of 
three full proposals.
