Details are contained in the full RfPs. The Rhode Island Sea Grant Request for Proposals (RfP) is for research projects (individual or multi-institutional) for 1 to 2 years in length in fisheries and aquaculture self-governance systems; ecosystem-based approaches to aquaculture; economics and marketing of seafood products; application of acoustics for fish stock assessments; diseases of commercially important fish and shellfish species; and estuarine gradients and nutrient processing in Narragansett Bay as they relate to ecological changes due to changing climate and nutrient reductions program implementation. These priority areas are described in greater detail in this RfP, which contains information about the format and timetable for submitting preproposals and full proposals. A second RfP emphasizing the human dimensions of coastal ecosystems in the New York Bight Region is also being issued by Rhode Island Sea Grant as part of its partnership with the Northeast Sea Grant College Consortium. Single investigators and multiple-investigator research teams from different institutions are encouraged to apply; both small-scale pilot studies and larger, interdisciplinary research projects will be considered.
