The purpose of this document is to advise the public that NOAA/NOS/National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)/Competitive Research Program (CRP) is soliciting proposals for the Prevention, Control and Mitigation of Harmful Algal Blooms (PCMHAB) and HAB Socioeconomics Research Programs. Funding is contingent upon the availability of Fiscal Year 2020 Federal appropriations. It is anticipated that projects funded under this announcement will have a September 1, 2020 start date.

Total funding for this research:

The Science and Research Fund (SRF) provides grants of up to £50,000 to support research projects that help fisheries meet and maintain sustainability best practice. For the 2019-2020 funding round we particularly welcome projects that focus on ghost gear or endangered, threatened and protected (ETP) species.

The NOAA Marine Debris Program, authorized in the Marine Debris Act (33 U.S.C. 1951-1958), provides funding to prevent the introduction of marine debris into the marine and coastal environment.

The Delta Science Program and California Sea Grant are excited to announce another round of Delta Science Fellowships. This fellowship funds up to two (2) years for research projects that will advance the state of knowledge underlying high priority science issues that affect the California Bay-Delta and its management as a coupled human and natural system.

Eligible applicants include postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. students, and masters students. Priority topic areas are identified in the full request for proposals, and include research in both the natural and social sciences.

The AMS Fellowship Program is a source of unique opportunities for outstanding students looking to pursue graduate education in the atmospheric or related sciences. To date, 359 students have been designated as AMS fellowship recipients.

Announcing an exciting new fellowship program for graduate students in the natural and social sciences. One two-year fellowship opportunity will be available at each of the 29 National Estuarine Research Reserves. Through a research project, fellows will address a key coastal management question to help scientists and communities understand coastal challenges that may influence future policy and management strategies.

Specific fellowship benefits include the following:

The S.E.E. Initiative and SoFar are gifting grant funded underwater drones to scientists, conservationists, and individuals who apply and share their expeditions on OpenExplorer. 

The Rapid Ocean Conservation (ROC) Grants Program is a project of the Waitt Foundation. ROC Grants provide small grants with a quick turnaround time for solutions to emerging conservation issues. This complements the Waitt Foundation’s existing major grants program and is responsive to conservation opportunities, supports higher-risk ideas at a low financial cost, and engages with small, local NGOs on a global scale.
