Need Grants for Your Marine
Climate Change Research? |
 Will your research answer the question: "What are the impacts of climate change on marine life?"
If so, approximately $800,000 in competitive funding is offered to support proposals that address any of the three National Science Foundation's (NSF) Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) research questions related to this overarching question.
Through the annual Rhode Island Collaborative Research Grant program, funding is available to support multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary projects that focus on building research capacity and infrastructure across institutions to advance the competitiveness of RI researchers. Application guidelines for the 2014 program are now available.
This call for proposals is in support of the Rhode Island Science and Technology Advisory Council's (STAC) - a program implemented within Commerce RI - partnerships with the EPSCoR and seeks projects that align with the RI NSF EPSCoR's thematic research areas of marine life response and adaptation to climate change.
