Funding Opportunities for Researchers
The National Sea Grant College Program
sponsors a variety of marine research, outreach and education
projects, primarily through the 33 state Sea Grant Programs.
Each program announces the availability of funding on an
annual or biannual basis. Please contact the local program
for information about funded projects and the possibility
for funding.
The National Sea Grant College Program
also has established a series of National Strategic
Investments (NSIs) that complement the strategic
objectives of the state Sea Grant Programs. These NSIs have
a national focus and are intended to enhance Sea Grant's
network-wide capabilities (research and development, education,
extension, and outreach) to respond to high priority issues
and opportunities. Projects are generally selected through
annual national competitions.
Fellowship Opportunities for Graduate Students
The Knauss fellowship, established in 1979,
provides a unique educational experience to students who
have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources
and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources.
The program matches highly qualified graduate students with
"hosts" in the legislative and executive branchof
government located in the Washington, D.C. area, for a one
year paid fellowship. The program is named in honor of one
of Sea Grant's founders, former NOAA Administrator, John
A. Knauss. Learn

NOAA’s National Sea Grant Office
and NOAA Fisheries established a Graduate Fellowship Program

fellowship is for Ph.D. students who are interested in either
of these two disciplines. Learn
