Program Development
Important issues and unique opportunities cannot always be anticipated. So that Washington Sea Grant can be effective in its mission, the program maintains a development fund that allows timely response to special needs or opportunities as they arise.
Projects supported by Program Development funds may fall into several categories including (but not limited to) complementary activity to existing high-priority projects, new and promising research, student support and partnership-building. Prior to submitting an application please contact Washington Sea Grant Director Penny Dalton, pdalton@u.washington.edu, or Associate Director Raechel Waters, rlwaters@u.washington.edu. If it appears that the proposed activity may be of sufficient priority and that adequate funds are available, the Director will request a formal application.
For more information and for application guidelines, refer to Program Development Guidance. Please note that requests for these funds are subject to normal WSG project selection criteria.
