They anticipate funding five to seven grants at approximately $50,000 per year per grant (not including indirect costs). A minimum 50-percent non-federal match is required ($1 non-federal match for every $2 federal dollars requested), including on indirect costs. Funding requests for one-year projects may not exceed $50,000 and requests for two-year projects may not exceed $100,000 (not including indirect costs). Funding is contingent upon NOAA approval and congressional appropriation of funds.
Eligible Applicants
Faculty members and researchers from any Pennsylvania college or university, state agency, and other Pennsylvania not-for-profit research organizations are eligible. Pennsylvania Sea Grant funding support is offered on an open, competitive basis.
Eligibility and Proposal Process
To be eligible, principal investigators (PIs) must be affiliated with an academic institution, research laboratory, or other institution with a research or science-based mission in Pennsylvania, including non-profit organizations and state agencies. Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs) on projects can be from institutions outside of Pennsylvania. NOTE: Only one preliminary proposal per lead Principal Investigator may be submitted but may be listed as a Co-PI on as many preproposals as they desire. Direct salary support for individuals from federal agencies, Tribal, and for-profit and foreign organizations is not allowed; however, non-federal contributions can be counted as matching or in-kind support for the project. Collaborative projects involving investigators or research teams from different institutions are encouraged.
