Grants & Funding

The SeaDoc Society strives to ensure that the best available science is applied to solving the problems facing marine wildlife and ecosystems.

We offer a competitive grants program with the goal to restore and maintain marine wildlife and ecosystem health by funding outstanding conservation, research, and management projects.

The scope of our grants program encompasses all marine vertebrates, and the biotic and abiotic environments upon which they depend for survival. The program focuses on the North American Pacific, with emphasis given to the issues facing the inland waters of Washington (U.S.A.) and British Columbia (Canada).

All SeaDoc Society-funded projects, regardless of where they are conducted, must have implications for understanding or enhancing the health of this region.

For the first time in almost a decade, SeaDoc will not have a Request for Proposals (RFP)in 2009. Instead we will use dedicated science funds for an internal project. We do anticipate having a RFP in 2010. For reference purposes you can find the 2008 RFP here.

Get notified when the 2010 RFP is ready:
