The Gulf Research Program is
offering up to $5
million in grants to improve
understanding of how coastal ecosystems in the
U.S. Gulf of Mexico region are affected
by or interact with natural processes and
human activities for the purpose of informing
natural resource decision-making and
management practices.
This funding opportunity is based on a recent
National Academies report, Understanding
the Long-Term Evolution of the Coupled
Natural-Human Coastal System: The Future
of the U.S. Gulf Coast, which highlighted
the deep interconnections between natural
processes and human activities along the
U.S. Gulf Coast. Coastal ecosystems are constantly
responding to external changes, from high
concentrations of human activity to
powerful natural processes such as hurricanes, sea
level rise, and land subsidence. Projects
are expected to be directly applicable to
natural resource decision-making and management
practices in the Gulf region.
A letter of intent is
required for this opportunity. Submit your
letter of intent by 5:00 p.m. ET on May 22,
2019.
