Abstract: Applications are required for the designation of a public or private institution of higher education, institute, laboratory, or State or local agency as a Sea Grant college or Sea Grant institute. Applications are also required in order to be awarded a Sea Grant Fellowship, including the Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowships. Grant monies are available for funding activities that help attain the objectives of the Sea Grant Program. In addition to the SF-424 and other standard grant application requirements, three additional forms are required with a grant application. These are the Sea Grant Control Form, used to identify the organizations and personnel who would be involved in the grant; the Project Record Form, which collects summary data on projects; and the Sea Grant Budget Form ( used in place of the SF 424a or 424c.) This revision includes changes to the Project Record Form, based on comments by grant recipients. This request is to update the Project Record Form and add three new fields, both to the current form and the one proposed, that can be uploaded digitally into the Sea Grant database. The response time is estimated to remain the same.
