Now Accepting Proposals for 2025 Community Collaboration Research Grants

North Carolina Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI), NC Sea Grant, and the William R. Kenan, Jr. Institute for Engineering, Technology and Science (KIETS) are accepting proposals for the Community Collaborative Research Grant (CCRG) program for projects to start in May 2025. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on January 24, 2025.

New grants will range from $5,000 to $25,000 for one-year projects. Successful CCRG projects must justify how their work would be relevant to the missions and interests of NC Sea Grant, NC WRRI, or KIETS. Previously-funded CCRG projects have supported youth education, community science, tribal knowledge, air and water quality, human health, and more.
