The Penn State Pennsylvania Sea Grant Program has issued a 2020-21 Request For Proposals for research projects in the Lake Erie, Delaware and Susquehanna watershed that address priority areas.  Proposals are due March 11.

Principal investigators should focus on outcomes that can be achieved in a 24-month period. Proposals must include a clear outreach plan for disseminating information to targeted audiences.

The Program anticipates funding 7 to 9 grants at approximately $60,000 per year per grant.  A 50 percent non-federal match is required-- one non-federal dollar for every two federal dollars requested. 

Funding requests for one-year projects may not exceed $60,000 and requests for two-year projects may not exceed $120,000. Funding is contingent upon NOAA approval and congressional appropriation of funds. 

Faculty members and researchers from colleges and universities, state agencies, and other Pennsylvania not-for-profit research organizations are eligible. Pennsylvania Sea Grant support is offered on an open, competitive basis.
