Funding Opportunities
Founded in 1970, California Sea Grant is part of a national network, funded and coordinated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration through a state-federal partnership to enhance the practical use and conservation of coastal and marine resources through scientific research, education and extension.
California Sea Grant College Institutional Proposal
Information about the annual RFP will be posted in late January. This annual research funding opportunity covers a variety of subject areas supported by the multi-institutional, statewide California Sea Grant College Program.
North Central Coast MPA Baseline Data Collection Project
The North Central Coast Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Baseline Program is a collaborative effort among the State Coastal Conservancy, Ocean Protection Council (OPC), California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), California Ocean Science Trust, MPA Monitoring Enterprise, and California Sea Grant. The program seeks to provide a summary description, assessment and understanding of ecological and socioeconomic conditions, inside and outside North Central Coast MPAs to be designated under the Marine Life Protection Act, at or near the time of MPA implementation.
Request for Regional Social Science Research Proposals for California, Oregon and Washington
The California, University of Southern California, Oregon, and Washington Sea Grant Programs are jointly interested in coordinated research efforts that bring together researchers from across the region to address specific social science issues of regional priority. Projects will be selected though an open, competitive peer-review process.
