Deadline for Â黨ÊÓƵ’s Blue Economy Proposals Oct. 15
October 6, 2021
Apply for the Â黨ÊÓƵ Center ICE Â黨ÊÓƵ’s Blue Economy proposals by Oct. 15, 2021. This request for proposals is a collaboration with the UAF Â黨ÊÓƵ Blue Economy Center and is supported by the Office of Naval Research.
The blue economy refers to the sustainable development of marine industries, including but not limited to fisheries, seafood processing, mariculture, tourism, transportation and energy. These maritime industries will be a growing part of Â黨ÊÓƵ’s future economy. UAF — including Center ICE, the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, Â黨ÊÓƵ Center for Energy and Power and ABEC — are poised to grow as the focal point for translating research that helps drive Â黨ÊÓƵ’s economic future in the maritime industries.
Center ICE will fund proposals that advance innovations with the greatest likelihood of industry adoption. As such, proposals should describe not just the innovation and its proposed development but also the anticipated industry application and likelihood of adoption. Innovations may be no more than an idea or may be nearly ready for industry deployment. All innovations must contribute to a maritime industry.
