Minnesota Sea Grant (MNSG) offers fast-track and/or program development grants of up to $10,000 for projects of up to six months in duration (cost-share or match not required). Proposals should address urgent needs, leverage exceptional opportunities to advance MNSG goals, and/or support exploratory research that will form the basis for the submission of a larger proposal. Proposals must support goals and outcomes outlined within the MNSG 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.
Investigators interested in proposing an exceptionally urgent project (e.g., a response to an emergency or other significant event) should email Minnesota Sea Grant’s research and fellowship coordinator at [email protected] for high-priority review.
