Community Partnership Development Grants
This funding opportunity is closed.
Alaska Sea Grant invites proposals for seed grants of up to $20,000 each that support the planning of community-based research partnerships and engagement of communities on research teams. These grants do not fund research, but rather provide resources to build partnerships to design research projects that improve understanding and management of Alaska’s coastal and marine ecosystems.
