Dear Colleagues,

The National Sea Grant Office has released two new funding opportunities 
supported by the Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act focusing 
on marine debris prevention and removal totaling of $19M in anticipated 
awards across the two competitions. Topical areas of interest include 
but are not limited to:

• Development of innovative removal and/or interception technologies and 
reusable
systems that prevent debris from entering the marine environment.
• Innovative solutions for mitigation and clean-up of derelict fishing 
gear and ghost gear.
• Microplastics and nanoplastics.
•Community or coalition building to address marine debris removal or 
prevention
•Education/workforce development

*Proposals for this opportunity must be submitted by a Sea Grant 
program.* If you are interested in collaborating on a proposal with 
Woods Hole Sea Grant, please reach out to Jennie Rheuban at 
seagrant-research at whoi.edu to discuss project ideas. For the two calls, 
LOIs are due August 9th, 2022 and August 16th, 2022 and full proposals 
are due September 30, 2022 and  September 15th, 2022 respectively.

/*Please note: *//Sea Grant staff members are expected to have 
substantial involvement in both proposal development and project 
implementation. As such, WHSG will review project ideas internally 
against our //strategic plan 
<https://seagrant.whoi.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2018-2023-Strategic-Plan-Final_12_2020.pdf>//and 
available staff capacity to determine if we are able to partner with 
entities on potential project ideas. /

All the best,

principles of justice, equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility 
when writing their proposals and performing their work. The work 
completed under these opportunities will place an emphasis on engagement 
with communities, groups and localities, especially those that have been 
traditionally underrepresented and underserved.

These opportunities are a component of nearly $3 billion in targeted 
investments for NOAA
