Contact: North Carolina Sea Grant is seeking research proposals to meet key needs identified by state agencies that manage natural resources.<\/p>\n The new funding opportunity came from discussions with directors of various agencies, and review of the state\u2019s Coastal Habitat Protection Plan<\/a>. Topics include oysters, other shellfish, blue crabs and coastal habitats.<\/p>\n \u201cWith limited funding, we recognize up front that this initial opportunity will cover a small percentage of the vast list of research needs from our agency partners,\u201d explains John Fear, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s deputy director. \u201cIt is our hope that needs not included at this time will be addressed in future research competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n The projects can be just one year in length. Researchers can request up to $60,000 from Sea Grant. Matching funds are encouraged but not required. No indirect costs may be included in the budgets.<\/p>\n Proposals require advance discussions with representative of a state agency that will use the results. Submissions are due by 5 p.m. on Oct. 7 via the eSeaGrant online portal: go.ncsu.edu\/ncesg<\/a>.<\/p>\n
