Requests should not exceed $2,500 per event or project (including indirect costs). If the budget of your request exceeds this limit, please discuss this with the Director prior to submission (additional details under “Process” below).
Eligibility
This opportunity is open to all Oregon-based personnel and organizations. Special considerations will be given to activities that reflect the breadth of the ORSG program.
- Does the activity advance ORSG vision and mission?
- Will ORSG personnel (staff or grantees), and/or the coastal community benefit from the activity being supported?
- Does the supported activity align with ORSG’s non-advocacy, neutral, third-party philosophy?
Note: Funds cannot be used to supplement activities already supported by ORSG or take the place of existing funds. Funds cannot be directly applied toward travel or other individual reimbursements.
Process
Individuals considering a request (including ORSG personnel) are required to contact the Oregon Sea Grant Director ([email protected]) to inquire about support in advance of submitting a proposal. All proposals will be reviewed by the ORSG leadership team for input on alignment with the criteria below, and with the ORSG fiscal officer for availability of funds. The Oregon Sea Grant Director makes the final decision on the proposal.
