FY2025 NMFS-Sea Grant Fellowship in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics and Marine Resource Economics
The National Sea Grant College Program was enacted by the U. S. Congress in 1966 (amended in 2020, Public Law 116-221) to support leveraged federal and state partnerships that harness the intellectual capacity of the nation’s universities and research institutions to solve problems and generate
opportunities in coastal communities.
This notice announces that applications may be submitted for the 2025 NMFS-Sea Grant Fellowship in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics and Marine Resource Economics.
When an interested student is applying, be sure to specify your project’s focus area in your title page:
either Population and Ecosystem Dynamics (PED), or Marine Resource Economics (MRE).
See Section IV.B, Content and Form of Application, for more information.
Population and Ecosystem Dynamics:
Sea Grant anticipates funding at least four new Ph.D.
fellowships in 2025 to students who are interested in careers related to marine ecosystem and population dynamics.
The emphasis will be on the research and development of quantitative methods for assessing the status of marine ecosystems; managed fish, invertebrates, and other targeted species; and marine mammals, seabirds, and other protected species.
Marine Resource Economics:
Sea Grant anticipates funding at least one new Ph.D.
fellowship in 2025 to students who are interested in careers related to the development and implementation of quantitative methods for assessing the economics of the conservation and management of living marine resources.
Fellows will work on thesis questions of public interest and relevance to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the guidance of NMFS mentors at participating NMFS Science Centers or Offices.
The NMFS-Sea Grant Fellowship in Population and Ecosystem Dynamics and Marine Resource Economics meets NOAA's healthy oceans goal of “marine fisheries, habitats, biodiversity sustained with healthy and productive ecosystems.” Application packages may propose up to $66,700 in federal funding plus at least 20% matching ($13,340) funding per year.
These awards will be jointly funded by NMFS and Sea Grant.
These fellowships can provide support for up to three years.
Indirect costs are not allowable for either the fellowship or for any costs associated with the fellowship including waived indirect costs as match (15 C.F.R.
§ 91 7. 11(e), "Guidelines for Sea Grant Fellowships).
Interested students are strongly encouraged to reach out to the Sea Grant program in their state/territory at least one month prior to the state application deadline to receive application support and provide notification of intent to apply.
This document sets out requirements for submitting to NOAA-OAR-SG-2025-2911 4. Applicant organizations must complete and maintain three registrations to be eligible to apply for or receive an award.
These registrations include SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and eRA Commons.
All registrations must be completed prior to the application being submitted.
The complete registration process for all three systems can take 4 to 6 weeks, so applicants should begin this activity as soon as possible.
If an eligible applicant does not have access to the internet, please contact the Agency Contacts listed in Section VII for submission instructions.
A guide to best practices for successfully submitting applications to eRA is located here.
