Funding Opportunities
The Ohio Sea Grant College Program will be sending its official request for proposals and
accompanying materials soon for projects to begin on 1 February 2008 or 1 February 2009.
These materials will also be available here on our web site. We use a preproposal and proposal
process. Preproposals and full proposals are evaluated by panels of experts. Full proposals
are also sent out for external written peer reviews. All proposals must have an outreach
component, and we encourage investigators to involve our extension specialists. Proposals can
request up to $60,000/year for up to 3 years. Approximately $250,000 is available for projects
beginning 1 February 2008, and approximately $350,000 is available for projects beginning
1 February 2009. Progress and final reports are submitted electronically on our web site, and
all past reports much be up to date before investigators can submit new proposals. Priorities
for Sea Grant research are listed in our strategic plan for 2005-10 which is available on our
web site. Collaboration with management agencies, the private sector, and other users is encouraged.
The due date for preproposals is 28 June 2007, and the due date for full proposals is 23 August 2007. Submissions must include Sea Grant forms 90-2 and a 90-4 for the total budget as well as one for each year of the project.
