The Alaska Sea Grant College Program is looking for creative research
proposals that will help the state address the impacts of environmental
change on coastal communities and increase the value of its coastal and
ocean resources. Preliminary proposals that meet the program's criteria
will be accepted for consideration until 5:00pm Alaska Standard Time,
Monday, 26 January 2009.
Pre-proposals will be accepted from qualified investigators at
universities, federal, state, local, and tribal government entities, and
approved nonprofit organizations. Alaska Sea Grant encourages
participation from the broad research community and welcomes proposals
from investigators new to the Alaska Sea Grant proposal application
process.
Alaska Sea Grant is a marine research, education, and advisory program
headquartered at the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Fisheries
and Ocean Sciences. It is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), in partnership with the State of Alaska and
private industry, and every two years, solicits research proposals.
For the 2010-2012 biennium, Alaska Sea Grant's interim director, Paula
Cullenberg, has indicated that sponsored research will emphasize impacts
on and adaptation strategies for coastal ecosystems and coastal
communities from environmental change, both human caused and natural.
Proposals are sought that improve the economic viability of Alaska
coastal communities through innovations in marketing, processing, and
other means that add value to local resources. Projects should engage
stakeholders or user groups on issues of importance to Alaska coastal
communities.
