Funding cycle:
February 1, 2024 – January 31, 2026

In January 2023, Washington Sea Grant (WSG) will request proposals for one- to two-year research projects from investigators at academic and research institutions throughout the state of Washington. Funded projects will contribute to WSG and state priority information needs by advancing knowledge in one of the four WSG focus areas: environmental literacy and workforce development, resilient communities and economies, healthy coastal ecosystems, and sustainable fisheries and aquaculture.


WSG is particularly interested in funding projects that engage, and address issues of concern to, Washington Pacific coastal communities. WSG also anticipates partnering with the Puget Sound Partnership to fund projects that align with the Puget Sound Science Work Plan.


Approximately $2 million will be awarded during the two-year funding cycle through a competitive review process.


Detailed guidance will be in the Request for Proposals released in early January 2023.
