Background
The National Sea Grant College Program was enacted by U.S. Congress in 1966 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. The overall goal of the grant is to develop and refine reproduction/broodstock, hatchery, and/or nursery strategies enabling the reliable production of sufficient quantities of juvenile marine finfish to supply on-growing operations.

Grant Details
The program priorities focus on research projects and programs that will significantly advance marine finfish juvenile production technologies for aquaculture. The competition will fund proposals that address barriers to production of marine finfish juveniles of 19 specified species, demonstrate meaningful advancement in commercialization, and extend results to industry stakeholders. The proposals should include funding (Federal or match) for Sea Grant extension personnel as collaborators, involve industry stakeholder participation, and support students through partnerships with HBCU, MSI, and HSI. Areas of investigation should focus on reproduction/broodstock, hatchery, and nursery operations.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include Sea Grant College Programs, Sea Grant Institutional Programs, and Sea Grant Coherent Area Programs. Other interested entities must submit proposals in partnership with and through a relevant Sea Grant program. Federal agencies and their personnel are not permitted to receive federal funding under this competition; however, federal scientists and other employees can serve as uncompensated partners or co-Principal Investigators on applications.

Period of Performance
The anticipated start date is July 1, 2022, with projects to be completed no later than June 30, 2025.

Grant Value
Approximately $5,000,000 will be available for research projects and programs that will significantly advance marine finfish juvenile production technologies for aquaculture. Applications may request up to $1,000,000 in federal funds addressing the program priorities.
