“The National Sea Grant College Program was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966 (amended in 2020, Public Law 116-221) to support leveraged federal and state partnerships that harness the intellectual capacity of the nation’s universities and research institutions to solve problems and generate opportunities in coastal communities.
The National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) anticipates approximately $1,000,000 of federal funds will be available to support approximately 2-3 awards in order to develop and execute local, regional, and national programs, workshops, and services to enable fishermen to enter career paths and make a living supplying seafood from our Nation’s oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes. Awards will be made for no more than $400,000 in federal funds per project, and may be for one or two years, though for no more than $200,000/year. Applications require 25% non-federal match. Successful projects will create and implement training programs that include the following types of programs, workshops, and services:
- seamanship, navigation, electronics, and safety;
- vessel and engine care, maintenance, and repair;
- sustainable fishing practices;
- other training needs as identified by the community.
All projects must take place within the United States or territories or their respective waterways.”
Funder: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA)
