Addressing Economic and Market Needs of the U.S. Aquaculture Industry
The National Sea Grant College Program (Sea Grant) was enacted by U. S. Congress in 1966 (amended in 2008, Public Law 110-394) to support leveraged Federal and state partnerships that harness the intellectual capacity of the nation’s universities and research institutions to solve problems and
generate opportunities in coastal communities.
Subject to the availability of funding, Sea Grant anticipates approximately $5,000,000 will be available for research projects and programs that will significantly advance the understanding of the economics of aquaculture businesses in the U. S. and address gaps regarding important market information.
The overall goal is to advance business management towards development of a sustainable marine and Great Lakes aquaculture industry in the U. S. Successful proposals will address geographic and/or topical needs and will fully integrate research, extension, and education.
Proposals that will support broad, non-proprietary research to address critical gaps with respect to aquaculture economics and market needs; make that information available to U. S. aquaculture businesses and management agencies; and build the capacity of Sea Grant and its partners, including Sea Grant aquaculture extension personnel and industry stakeholders, are preferred.
These investments are consistent with Sea Grant’s focus area of Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture (SFA) and the Sea Grant Network’s 10-year Aquaculture Vision, both which support NOAA and Department of Commerce aquaculture goals.
All proposals to this competition must be submitted by a Sea Grant program.
Other interested entities must submit proposals in partnership with and through a relevant Sea Grant Program.
A complete list of Sea Grant programs with email contacts can be found at https://seagrant.noaa.gov/ Proposals must also include funding (Federal or match) for Sea Grant extension personnel as collaborators.
Industry stakeholder participation/involvement in projects is strongly encouraged.
This document sets out requirements for submitting to NOAA-OAR-SG-2020-200633 1. Additional guidance and tips on how best to prepare an application are provided in the Sea Grant General Application Guide available at (https://seagrant.noaa.gov/Portals/1/Guidance/SeaGrantGeneralApplicationGuide.pdf).
Potential applicants are encouraged to check Sea Grant's national website at - https://seagrant.noaa.gov/Funding - for information about a webinar and FAQs related to this announcement.
