Funds available to support collaborative research on Lake Michigan coastal dynamics

Nov 5, 2018

The Lake Michigan Sea Grant programs, including Wisconsin Sea Grant, Michigan Sea Grant and Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, seek integrated proposals to better understand coastal hydrodynamics and nearshore sediment transport processes on Lake Michigan, to help effectively communicate this information to promote sustainable shore protection, and to increase the integrity of beaches and stabilize bluffs. The result would be more resilient coastal communities and economies.

Full guidance for the RFP, including what project details to provide and where to provide them, can be found here: http://www.iiseagrant.org/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/JointRequestForProposals-MI-II-WI_Final.pdf​. The deadline for preproposals is Friday, January 11, 2019, 3 p.m. CST (4 p.m. EST).
