Instructions

Use this form to describe any communications activity that is likely to require more than a few hours of Sea Grant Communications staff time.

Such needs may include publications or Web pages, writing or editing assistance, audiovisual products and services, computer-related products or projects, display and exhibit materials, and conference and event support. (You generally do not need to submit a form for a news release or other minor requests.)

Please:

• Complete the form as completely as possible
• Press the "Send" button to deliver the information to Editor Rick Cooper.

To the best of our ability, communications staff will respond to your request within five working days. At that time we will tell you:

• We can do the work, and we need to discuss scheduling and details with you
• We need further information to make a decision
• We are unable to do this project for you. If this is the case we'll tell you why and suggest other options for getting the job done.

We encourage planning of communications activities, beginning early in the life of the project and including a careful evaluation of the need, the audience, the message, and the medium. You need not complete this form for such a consultation -- just contact Rick Cooper (for print projects), Pat Kight(for Web projects), Patricia Andersson(for graphic arts projects) or Joe Cone (for video projects) and set up an appointment.
