Overview

Established at the University of Alaska in 1970, Alaska Sea Grant is one of 34 programs within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Sea Grant College Program, authorized by Congress in 1968. We are funded by federal and state appropriations, as well as project-specific funds from local governments, federal and state agencies, community organizations and industry. Alaska Sea Grant and its Marine Advisory Program supports research, education, and extension activities that enhance the ability of Alaskans to understand, conserve, and sustainably use our rich and diverse marine and coastal resources. Alaska Sea Grant invites proposals for research projects for the 2024–2026 biennium. Investigators throughout the state of Alaska are invited to apply for one- to two-year research projects that contribute to Alaska Sea Grant and state priority information needs, and advance knowledge in one of four focus areas: healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, resilient communities and economies, and environmental literacy and workforce development. Proposed research projects must identify priorities to be addressed and align with the mission, vision, core values, and goals identified in the Alaska Sea Grant 2024–2027 Strategic Plan with four focus areas.
