Strengthening and Expanding Regional CEC Initiatives to Promote Research-to-Application Partnerships

This project is supported by a grant from the National Sea Grant Office and NOAA. Following the release of a Request for Proposals to address the priorities identified in our Primer and a subaward grant, we were able to fund two additional projects that were submitted to the competitive research competition.
