The regional funding opportunity addresses priorities of Sea Grant programs in the Southeast and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management in the South Atlantic Region.
· Details for this regional RFP can be found here.
· Submissions are due by 5 p.m. on Oct. 25 via the eSeaGrant online portal found here.
· For more information, contact Dr. Charles Sidman, Florida Sea Grant Associate Director for Research, at csidman@ufl.edu or (352) 392-5870.
Highly Migratory Species Research Initiative
NOAA-OAR-SG-2019-2006046
This opportunity is now closed.
Congress directed Sea Grant to spend up to $2,000,000 to initiate an HMS research initiative focused on HMS species in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, including the interactions between yellow-fin tuna and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. This direction, and priorities identified in the 2014 Atlantic HMS Management-Based Research Needs and Priorities document developed by NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service in collaboration with HMS stakeholders, was used to identify priorities for this initiative that will support research to address critical gaps in knowledge about HMS in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean regions.
· Letters of Intent are due May 15, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).
· Full proposals are due June 19, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).
Biennial Call for Research Proposals
This opportunity is now closed.
Every two years, Florida Sea Grant solicits Research Proposals for two-year coastal and ocean applied research grants that reflect priorities identified in the current Florida Sea Grant Strategic Plan.

Advanced Aquaculture Collaborative Programs
NOAA-OAR-SG-2019-2005963
This opportunity is now closed.
Sea Grant anticipates at least $9,000,000 will be available to support the establishment of collaborative programs to build the capacity of Sea Grant and its partners to advance aquaculture in areas where a foundation of knowledge and activity currently exists but where significant barriers to sustainable domestic marine and Great Lakes aquaculture remain. These collaborative programs will serve as geographic or topic-based hubs for fully integrated, transdisciplinary research, outreach, and education that will provide broad, non-proprietary support and investment for building and/or enhancing an aquaculture industry.
· Letters of Indent are due April 15, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).
· Full proposals are due May 15, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).
Exploring New Aquaculture Opportunities
NOAA-OAR-SG-2019-2005960
This opportunity is now closed.
Sea Grant anticipates $1,500,000 will be available to support Sea Grant-led aquaculture projects to catalyze work in a range of topics or geographies. This competition will fund diverse, and at times, high-risk, developmental projects that will envision, explore and advance aquaculture opportunities where a minimal foundation currently exists.
· Letters of intent are due March 26, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).
· Full proposals are due April 24, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).
Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research Needs in Aquaculture
NOAA-OAR-SG-2019-2005953
This opportunity is now closed.
The National Sea Grant Office anticipates around $3,000,000 will be available to support research to address critical gaps in social, behavioral, and economic knowledge as it relates to U.S. aquaculture and the communities impacted and served by it. The initiative is informed by the National Strategic Plan for Federal Aquaculture Research; the Sea Grant 10-Year NOAA Sea Grant Aquaculture Vision; and previous research from federal, state, and university scientists.
· Letters of intent are due April 2, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).
· Full proposals are due May 1, 2019 (see formal announcement for details).

Request for Proposals: 2018-2020 Sea Grant National Aquaculture Initiative
This opportunity is now closed.
Depending on appropriations, NOAA National Sea Grant College Program expects to have available a total of $7,000,000 to $11,500,000 across fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020 as part of the Sea Grant National Aquaculture Initiative (NAI). As part of the NAI, this competition is designed to foster the expansion of a sustainable U.S. ocean, coastal and Great Lakes aquaculture sector by addressing one or more of the following priorities:
- (a) supporting the development of emerging systems or technologies that will advance aquaculture in the U.S., including projects that will help stimulate aquaculture production by nascent industries;
- (b) developing and implementing actionable methods of communicating accurate, science based messages and information about the benefits and risks of U.S. marine aquaculture to the public; and
- (c) increasing the resiliency of aquaculture systems to natural hazards and changing conditions.

Request for Proposals: 2018 NOAA Coastal Resilience Grant
This opportunity is now closed.
NOAA intends to award up to $15 million to support coastal resilience grants that benefit coastal ecosystems and communities. Coastal Resilience Grants support efforts to prepare coastal communities and ecosystems to withstand the impacts of extreme weather and climate-related hazards, which in turn makes our nation safer and our economy more secure.
The FY2017 Coastal Resilience Grants competition included two focus areas—strengthening coastal communities and habitat restoration. In FY2018, new project proposals are being solicited for projects that build resilience through habitat restoration. For the part of the program focused on strengthening coastal communities, NOAA will select proposals from the high-scoring projects submitted but not funded during the FY2017 competition.
