Proactive Species Internal Grants Funded
Background | Species of Concern List | Contacts | Grant Program | Grants and Technical Resources/Links
The Internal Grant Program is open to NOAA biologists as Principal Investigators on projects implementing research or conservation measures to improve the status of Species of Concern. Most projects also include collaborations with academic or non-governmental institutions.
Funding for this program is separate from funding for the Proactive Species Conservation Grant Program that is awarded to state management agencies.
