Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR SG 2025 29639

The FY2025 Northeast American Lobster Regional Program grant opportunity supports continued research and extension activities related to the American lobster fishery in the Northeast U.S. This funding is available only to specific Sea Grant programs: Maine, New Hampshire, MIT, Woods Hole, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. Proposals that involve collaboration among two or more of these programs will receive priority.

The goal of this program is to build on past investments through the National Sea Grant American Lobster Initiative, which has supported research and extension since 2018. Applicants are expected to synthesize prior research, develop outreach products, maintain or launch place-based extension and education efforts, and identify needs for future competitive research funding.

Key objectives include:

- Summarizing and communicating findings from past and current lobster-related research, especially work funded under the American Lobster Initiative - Continuing and expanding regional extension and outreach programs tied to local lobster communities - Coordinating new competitive research projects that address emerging industry and environmental challenges - Supporting collaborative regional frameworks that align with priorities of state and federal partners

Proposals must add value to existing efforts while fostering new partnerships that strengthen coordination across the region. Funded work should support sustainability and resilience in the lobster fishery and its coastal communities.

All projects must take place in the U.S. or its territories, and applicants must complete registration in SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons prior to submitting their application—a process that may take several weeks.

NOAA may also use this award to establish an ongoing institutional partnership, enabling future noncompetitive funding if performance is satisfactory and goals remain aligned with the program mission.
