Although the University of Maine administers Maine Sea Grant, the research competition is open to all faculty and staff at any public or private research or higher education institution.

Maine Sea Grant Program Development Funds

Proposal deadline: February 1; June 1; October 1 annually.
Each year Maine Sea Grant allocates $30,000-40,000 for Program Development (PD) funds. The National Sea Grant Office allows state programs to award these funds to enhance their strategic plan goals. Typical awards are $1,000-$3,000, but may be up to $10,000 without peer review required. Awards are generally for small research projects and proof-of-concept with the intent of seeding an idea for later development into larger funding proposals. Full description and proposal template.
