For immediate release<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Contact: <\/span><\/i>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 partners interested in new NOAA Sea Grant funding for a <\/span>Marine Debris Challenge Competition <\/b>should contact North Carolina Sea Grant quickly, as letters of intent are due in early August and must be submitted by a Sea Grant program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We 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

National Sea Grant efforts on<\/span> marine debris prevention and removal <\/span>are a component of the nearly $3 billion in NOAA funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act<\/span> announced June 29, 2022<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Marine Debris Challenge Competition will support original, innovative, and transformational marine debris prevention and removal research that pushes the boundaries of existing technologies and approaches, changes the current landscape of marine debris mitigation, and ties that research to tangible outputs,\u201d the national Sea Grant office explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of $16 million is expected over two years to support \u201cresearch to application\u201d projects to address the prevention and\/or removal of marine debris. <\/span>Only Sea Grant programs, such as NC Sea Grant, may submit letters of intent and full proposals.\u00a0 But, they may submit or participate in multiple proposals.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

All other interested entities must submit letters of intent and proposals in partnership with and through a relevant Sea Grant program. “Although the PI and other investigators do not need to be part of a Sea Grant program, <\/span>the funding opportunity clearly describes a requirement to include funding for Sea Grant education and\/or extension personnel as collaborators<\/span>,\u201d notes John Fear, NC Sea Grant deputy director.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Partners interested in submitting a proposal in collaboration with and\/or through NC Sea Grant should contact 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 White adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NC partners seeking to collaborate for the <\/span>Marine Debris Challenge Competition<\/b> must submit the completed <\/span>letter of intent by email to <\/b>jmfear@ncsu.edu<\/b><\/a> by Aug. 8, 2022 <\/b>so that the letter will be confirmed for submission for the national deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Full Proposals for Marine Debris Challenge Competition, based on letters of intent and including\u00a0 NC Sea Grant participation, must be<\/span> submitted to NC Sea Grant by Sept. 26, 2022<\/b> in order for the state program to meet the national deadline for proposal packages.\u00a0<\/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> An optional national webinar will be held to answer questions pertaining to this funding opportunity on July 12, 2022 at 4:30 pm ET.<\/span> Please register here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
