For Immediate Release<\/p>\n

Contact: Katie Mosher, <\/span><\/i>kmosher@ncsu.edu<\/span><\/i><\/a>, or John Fear, <\/span><\/i>jmfear@ncsu.edu<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

North Carolina Sea Grant invites partners interested in the latest round of NOAA Sea Grant funding for the <\/span>Marine Debris Challenge Competition <\/b><\/a>to begin exploring partnerships and topics now. Letters of intent, due in January, are the first step \u2014 and must be submitted by a Sea Grant program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to collaborate with a variety of partners \u2014 from national, regional, state and local scales \u2014 to bring many talents together to address marine debris challenges within our coastal watersheds and coastal communities, and beyond,\u201d notes Susan White, NC Sea Grant executive director. \u201cSuch integrated research, extension and education efforts are critical to moving the needle for a problem that is expanding, and affects all here, nationally and globally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

NOAA Sea Grant notes the opportunity is open to any person or group within the United States or its territories, as well as tribal nations within those geographies. \u201cApplicants must submit proposals in partnership with a relevant <\/span>Sea Grant Program<\/span><\/a>. Please note that it is not a requirement that investigators, including the principal investigator, be part of a Sea Grant program,\u201d the funding announcement explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>The Marine Debris Challenge Competition<\/span> will include approximately $16 million in funding available to support innovative, transformational research-to-application projects that will address the prevention and removal of marine debris, with award periods of three years,\u201d the announcement continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partners interested in submitting a proposal in collaboration with and\/or through NC Sea Grant should contact John Fear at <\/span>jmfear@ncsu.edu<\/span><\/a> or White at <\/span>snwhite3@ncsu.edu<\/span><\/a> quickly to discuss the proposal topic and Sea Grant collaboration. \u201cAs with all our funding opportunities, we seek a wide range of researchers, participants and partners from communities that have been underserved, and from universities and organizations serving those communities,\u201d Fear adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deadlines:<\/b><\/p>\n

January 30, 2024: <\/b>Letters of intent must be submitted by a Sea Grant program<\/span>. Letters of intent from North Carolina researchers should be sent to<\/strong> <\/span>John Fear by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, January 30, 2024,<\/b> in order for NC Sea Grant to meet the federal deadline. Send them by email to jmfear@ncsu.edu<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

March 1, 2024:<\/b> Only those who submit letters of intent are eligible to submit full proposals. Full proposals must be based on letters of intent and include Sea Grant partnerships. Only Sea Grant programs may submit full proposals for this federal opportunity. Thus, proposals from North Carolina researchers must be <\/span>submitted to John Fear by 5 p.m., Friday, March 1, 2024<\/b> to ensure NC Sea Grant has the time needed to process all proposals ahead of the federal deadline. Complete proposals should be emailed to jmfear@ncsu.edu<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions for the Marine Debris Challenge Competition opportunity can be found on the national<\/span> Sea Grant Funding page<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Webinar:<\/b> A NOAA Sea Grant informational webinar about the funding opportunity will be held on <\/span>October 3, 2023<\/b> at 4 p.m. Eastern. Register in advance <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. Or follow the link on the national announcement page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
