Lake Champlain Sea Grant Research Letters of Intent Due
Lake Champlain Sea Grant requests proposals for research in the Lake Champlain basin that align with our Strategic Plan in the areas of:
- Environmental literacy and workforce development
- Healthy coastal ecosystems
- Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture
- Resilient communities and economies
Lake Champlain Sea Grant strives to fund scientists from diverse backgrounds and achieve outcomes for diverse and underserved communities; please see the announcement for research topics.
Researchers may request up to $100,000 in federal Sea Grant funds for one-year projects or $200,000 for two-year projects to cover direct and indirect costs. Federal support must be matched with non-federal funds at the rate of $1 in non-federal matching funds for every $2 requested of federal Sea Grant funds (i.e., a 50% match). We expect to allocate approximately $900,000 in federal Sea Grant funds to support research projects selected from this research competition.
LCSG strives to fund scientists from diverse backgrounds and achieve outcomes for diverse and underserved communities. Institutions of higher education, state and local government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and businesses that conduct research in the Lake Champlain basin in New York and Vermont are eligible to respond to this request for proposals (RFP).
