## What the grant funds

The National Sea Grant College Program was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966 (amended in 2020, Public Law 116-221) to support leveraged federal and state partnerships that harness the intellectual capacity of the nation’s universities and research institutions to solve problems and generate opportunities in coastal communities. Subject to the availability of funding, the National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) anticipates that approximately $500,000 will be available to Sea Grant Programs to provide opportunities for researchers (faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral individuals), Sea Grant extension personnel, and aquaculture community members, or a mixture of participants, to enhance knowledge of aquaculture technologies, production practices and systems, businesses, or other associated topics pertinent to the species or species group of interest to participants. The goal of this opportunity is that participants will utilize the knowledge and expertise gained through their travel experiences in their approach to improve aquaculture research, extension, or aquaculture production, or business activities that will benefit the U.S. coastal, marine, and Great Lakes aquaculture communities. Awards will be made for no more than $75,000 in federal funds per project for a duration of up to one year. Available funding can be used to support travel costs, salary, and costs associated with outreach activities following travel. Travel must be focused on visiting aquaculture sites or facilities, either public or private. Funding for research activities is not permitted through this announcement. Successful applications will: identify, justify, and describe the need or needs to be addressed regarding improvement of aquaculture research, extension, production, or business activities, describe and document the proposed plan regarding how the proposed travel activities will address the identified need or needs, describe how the proposed activities will enhance aquaculture-related activities of project participants, and describe how the proposed activities will benefit the U.S. aquaculture community. Please note that it is envisioned that this funding opportunity, with potential variation in total funding available, will be reinstated annually, contingent on available funding.
