Description
Maryland Sea Grant offers Graduate Research Support Grants through its Program Development awards process to help graduate students carry out small research initiatives. The grants support practical research expenses, including materials and supplies, analytic services, and research-related travel. Projects must be relevant to Maryland and aligned with the Maryland Sea Grant Strategic Plan.
This support connects individual graduate projects with Maryland Sea Grant’s broader work applying science to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay and Maryland’s coastal resources. Maryland Sea Grant is a university-based partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, administered by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. Its work spans research, education, and community outreach to address environmental challenges and support a sustainable coastal economy.
