Interface of Change Year 1 Seed Awards
August 15, 2024
Schery Umanzor holds up a red seaweed species. Umanzor is investigating how climate-driven environmental changes impact red seaweed growth.
Alaska NSF EPSCoR is excited to announce the first round of research seed awards under
our project "Interface of Change."
The goal of Interface of Change is to bring together researchers, Gulf of Alaska community
members, Tribes, educators, and entrepreneurs to investigate climate change impacts
on harvested and farmed marine species, and on the lives of Alaskans who rely on them.
We are soliciting proposals for seed grants from University of Alaska researchers
and students, as well as non-UA affiliated research collaborators and adjacent organizations
to carry out new and innovative research projects that support Interface of Change
goals. Seed award projects should address themes relevant to the EPSCoR Interface
of Change project.
The maximum amount for research seed awards is up to $20,000 per award. For student research seed awards, the maximum amount is up to $4,000 per award.
