Sea Grant Programs Only - FY2025 Aquaculture Legal, Regulatory, and Policy Grants

Sea Grant Programs Only - FY2025 Aquaculture Legal, Regulatory, and Policy Grants is sponsored by DOC NOAA - ERA Production. Supports non-proprietary research projects addressing legal, regulatory, and policy topics relevant to U.S. coastal, marine, and Great Lakes aquaculture communities.

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.

</p> <p>Subject to the availability of funding, Sea Grant anticipates that approximately $500,000 will be available to support broad, non-proprietary research projects for a period of up to three years with the goal of addressing legal, regulatory, and policy topics relevant to U.S. coastal, marine, and Great Lakes aquaculture communities. Federal funds ranging from $100,000-$250,000 may be requested per application.

Successful proposals will address topical needs (described below) and preferably include participation and involvement of Sea Grant extension personnel and members of the aquaculture community, including state regulators/resource managers.

These investments are consistent with Sea Grant’s focus area of Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture (SFA) and the Sea Grant Network’s 10-year Aquaculture Vision, both of which support NOAA and Department of Commerce aquaculture goals. </p> <p>The following entities are eligible to submit to this opportunity: Sea Grant College Programs, Sea Grant Institutional Programs, and Sea Grant Coherent Area Programs.

For the remainder of this document, these entities are collectively referred to as “Sea Grant Programs”.

Programs are encouraged to partner with other Sea Grant Programs and/or other entities such as individuals, State and Tribal Agencies/Organizations, Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), aquaculture industry members and associations, high schools, universities, and colleges, including community colleges.
