<\/a>In 2019, the National Sea Grant College Program’s national investment in aquaculture focuses on building upon recent investments and continuing to tap the aquaculture expertise within Sea Grant’s network of university-based professionals. This includes these three federal funding opportunities.<\/p>\n
Advanced Aquaculture Collaborative Programs – 2019,\u00a0NOAA-OAR-SG-2019-2005963<\/a><\/h4>\nSea Grant anticipates at least $9,000,000 will be available to support the establishment of collaborative programs to build the capacity of Sea Grant and its partners to advance aquaculture in areas where a foundation of knowledge and activity currently exists but where significant barriers to sustainable domestic marine and Great Lakes aquaculture remain. These collaborative programs will serve as geographic or topic-based hubs for fully integrated, transdisciplinary research, outreach and education that will provide broad, non-proprietary support and investment for building and\/or enhancing an aquaculture industry.<\/p>\n
