Aquaculture Federal Funding Opportunity Webinar

This webinar will give an overview of a new federal funding opportunity called, “Addressing the Impacts of Multiple Stressors on Shellfish Aquaculture through Research/Industry Partnerships” (Funding Opportunity Number: NOAA-OAR-SG-2021-2006704). The webinar will address frequently asked questions, and much of the webinar will be devoted to answering questions that may arise from the audience.

This webinar will be hosted and presented by the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) and the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).

This funding opportunity is an effort to bolster our understanding of how acidification and other stressors will impact shellfish aquaculture by seeking applications that establish, continue, and/or expand collaborations between researchers and the shellfish aquaculture industry. Specifically, applications to this competition should utilize new or existing research/industry partnerships to study how ocean and coastal acidification in combination with other stressors impact shellfish aquaculture. Projects should utilize multiple parameter physical, chemical, or biological observing systems and/or conduct multiple stressor experimental research. Additionally, research/industry partnerships must utilize a co-production of knowledge framework. This means shellfish growers must collaborate with researchers throughout all aspects of the scientific process, from project conceptualization to execution to dissemination of knowledge and development of deliverables.
