Hi everyone, Apologies for the cross posting, but I figured this might be of interest to various people on these lists using FOSS GIS tools in the maritime arena.
After all, how often do we get offers of funding for development :-) Cheers, Brent Wood ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Subject: [MARMAM] Marine Ecosystem-based Management Funding Opportunity Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 17:17:42 -0500 From: Daniel Dunn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab To: <[email protected]> The Marine Ecosystem-based Management Tool Innovation Fund Request for Letters of Intent The Marine Ecosystem-based Management Tool Innovation Fund is now accepting Letters of Intent to submit grant applications. The Fund is a two year initiative supported by the David & Lucile Packard Foundation to stimulate the development and dissemination of creative software tools for Marine Ecosystem-Based Management (MEBM). We seek to expand the network of MEBM tool developers through the establishment of targeted small grants and an associated technical support program. The program will grant approximately $500,000 a year for two years in small competitive grants to a broad range of organizations and developers. The initiative will aggressively provide detailed tool development guidelines, technical support, training workshops and assistance in tool development to the grantees for the duration of the fund. The primary deliverable products will be the innovative, interoperable and freely disseminated tools developed by the grantees. We encourage all applicants (there are currently no restrictions on who may apply) to submit letters of intent. To apply: please visit our website (http://mgel.env.duke.edu/mebm) and read the instructions under "Grant Application Process". Letters of Intent along with a 1-page letter of introduction are due by March 30th. If possible, please submit via email. Letters of Intent will be reviewed and full application packages sent to all relevant projects by April 10th. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact our project manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Patrick N.
