Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR SG 2018 2005450
The Fiscal Year 2018 NMFS-Sea Grant Fellowships in Marine Resource Economics is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce focused on supporting Ph.D. students who want to build careers at the intersection of economics and marine resource management. The core purpose of the fellowship is to train researchers who can develop and apply rigorous quantitative methods to evaluate the economic dimensions of conserving and managing living marine resources, with an emphasis on work that has clear public value and practical relevance to real-world fisheries and ecosystem decisions.
A central feature of the program is that each fellow conducts dissertation or thesis research aligned with the mission and needs of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Fellows are paired with NMFS mentors and work in connection with participating NMFS Science Centers or NMFS Offices, which is intended to ensure the research is grounded in management realities and informed by agency expertise, data, and policy questions. In other words, this is not just a traditional academic fellowship; it is designed to produce scholarship that can inform how marine fisheries and other living marine resources are assessed, valued, and managed.
The opportunity is explicitly tied to NOAA's broader outcomes under the Healthy Oceans goal, particularly the objective of sustaining marine fisheries, habitats, and biodiversity through healthy and productive ecosystems. By emphasizing economic analysis in conservation and management, the fellowship supports decisions that weigh tradeoffs, quantify benefits and costs, and improve the design and evaluation of management approaches affecting marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
In terms of funding and expected awards, the program anticipated making two new Ph.D. fellowship awards each year. The expected annual support per fellow is listed as $46,000 in combined funds, with support coming jointly from NOAA Fisheries and Sea Grant and including both federal and required matching funds. The source notice also lists an award ceiling of $38,333, which appears to reflect the federal portion cap reported in the opportunity record, while the higher $46,000 figure reflects the total annual package when matching funds are included.
Administratively, the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, indicating an arrangement where there is typically substantial involvement by the federal sponsor in the supported activities compared to a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the research and development activity categories related to environment, natural resources, science and technology. The CFDA number associated with the program is 11.417. The opportunity number is NOAA OAR SG 2018 2005450. The record shows it was created on October 26, 2017, with an original application closing date of January 26, 2018.
