At approximately 9:24 a.m. on Friday, April 19, a University of Maine graduate student was struck by a university vehicle on Long Road at the University of Maine campus in Orono. The student reports that they are at a local hospital with minor injuries.

Emergency services, including the Orono Fire Department, University Volunteer Ambulance Corps, University of Maine Police Department, Orono Police Department and Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene.

The university vehicle involved in the incident was a Chevrolet Express van. It was being operated by a university employee.

Counseling services and support are available for students, faculty or staff who may have been affected. The Counseling Center can be reached at 207-581-1392 and the Dean of Students Office can be reached at 207-581-1406.

The scene has been cleared and Long Road is now accessible. An investigation is being conducted by the University of Maine Police Department with assistance from the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Unit. Any witnesses to the incident are encouraged to contact Lt. Noel Santiago at noel.santiago@maine.edu.

Our biennial request for 2024-2026 research proposals is now closed to submissions.

Required pre-proposals were due February 3, 2023, by 11:59 PM.

Full proposal deadline was May 1, 2023, by 11:59 PM.

Our request for proposals is designed to sponsor a diverse research portfolio that links the scientific capacity of Maine with the needs of coastal community partners and interests. We anticipate approximately $600,000 will be available to support research projects over the two-year funding period. Total two-year requests are limited to $200,000 in Sea Grant funds (including all direct and indirect costs). Maine Sea Grant is administered by the University of Maine, but the research competition is open to faculty and staff at any public or private research or higher education institution in the state.

We accept proposals aligned with any part of our 2024-2027 strategic plan. Proposals that address cross-cutting principles outlined in this plan will be eligible for higher merit ratings during the review process. We also strongly encourage proposals that will engage diverse partners and end users, integrate concepts and methods from multiple disciplines, develop cross-cultural perspectives, provide student training, and advance issues important to the state’s underserved and underrepresented coastal communities.

We seek proposals that link research to the needs of coastal communities. There is no better way to do this than by interacting with our Marine Extension Team. Collectively, they have decades of experience in Maine’s coastal communities.

Maine Sea Grant has an online proposal submission tool. All pre-proposals and full proposals must be submitted to Maine Sea Grant through eSeaGrant.
