The mission is to spark discovery, understanding, and collaboration that foster healthy, inclusive, and resilient coastal communities and ecosystems.
This grant program aims to support conferences or activities that promote interaction, engagement, or discussion within the Oregon Sea Grant community, focusing on areas that align with Oregon Sea Grant's strategic efforts. The goal is to foster a diverse range of conferences and activities rather than provide ongoing support for annual events. Funding is available on an as-needed basis, with assessments made quarterly and provisions for rapid response requests. Proposers must familiarize themselves with Oregon Sea Grant’s research and strategic investments, consult the Oregon Sea Grant Director before submitting a request, register for eSeaGrant, and submit their request through eSeaGrant according to specified guidelines.
