Requests for Proposals
Louisiana Sea Grant is pleased to announce a request for Statements of Interest as the first step in submitting a proposal to our FY2022-2023 Competitive Research Program. For this funding opportunity, Louisiana Sea Grant seeks relevant and integrated research that provides natural science and socioeconomic information, design innovation, as well as policy guidance, for fisheries management, climate change adaptation, resilient communities and ecosystem restoration to enhance coastal systems and communities in Louisiana. Coastal Louisiana offers a laboratory of restoration, protection and adaptation projects that together with laboratory studies, field investigations, models, and/or socioeconomic tools and synthesis products, offer innovative opportunities for research projects. Such innovative research approaches should improve understanding of coastal ecosystem function and help predict the responses of ecosystems and communities to changing climate and/or planning activities. Statements of Interest (SoI) must include an outreach plan that demonstrates a connection with user groups, such as resource managers, communities, and/or informal and formal learners. Proposed projects should be for a 24-month maximum duration (but may be less than 24 months). PIs should focus on outcomes that can be achieved during this timeframe.
