Fiscal Year 2021 Chesapeake Bay Fisheries Research Program

The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office is seeking proposals for research projects that address the priorities of the Chesapeake Bay Fisheries Research Program. The program aims to improve the understanding of the links between habitat condition, water quality, and living resources in the Chesapeake Bay. Priority areas include synthesis and analysis of existing information, and improving social science for fisheries and habitat. • Proposals should focus on connecting environmental conditions to fish species' response • Projects should have clear federal-state management applications • Preference will be given to projects with clear near-term management application and to principal investigators who have not been funded through the program in the past five years • Proposals should include a detailed project narrative, budget, and supporting documentation
