This
is a solicitation from the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program for
Statements of Interest proposing two-year coastal research projects.
The Statement of Interest serves as a project pre-proposal that
identifies a topic relevant to coastal and marine needs in Louisiana and
the nation. It describes both the scope of the need, problem, or
opportunity and how the results achieved would contribute
to development, conservation, or utilization of coastal and marine
resources. Statements allow for review of concepts, rationale, general
approach, and expected outcomes and impacts before faculty must commit
to providing a narrative of detailed methodology,
literature review, and other requirements of a full proposal.
1.
Priority Focus Areas are: 1) Healthy Coastal Ecosystems, 2) Resilient
Communities and Economies, 3) Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture, and
4) Education
and Workforce Development. We strongly suggest that you access a
complete explanation of these priorities and their attendant Goals and
Strategies at
Draft Louisiana Sea Grant Strategic Plan 2014-2018.
2. Proposals must be strong in scientific and professional merit, rationale and user relationships. Other criteria apply.
3. 50% match is required for all awards.
4. Faculty may participate in a maximum of
two Statements of Interest as either a
Principal Investigator, Co-Principal Investigator, or Associate Investigator.
5. Statements of Interest referencing oil spill-related research will be given low priority.
Size of Grant Awards
We
will entertain Statements of Interest with maximum budgets of
$90,000/year for either one or two year projects. Occasionally projects
that are evaluated highly,
but fall just below the cutoff for full funding, can be supported at a
reduced scope and cost with Program Development funds.
A fully completed and signed Statement of Interest form (available at
Statement of Interest Form),
using the PDF format provided, must be submitted to Ms. Katie Lea (Room 238 Sea Grant Building, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 or
klea@lsu.edu) by 4:00 PM on Friday, 1 February 2013, without exception.
Please go to
