Phew, we made it! This is the sixth and final blog post in the #CoastalResearchGrants series, in which we’re walking through the steps of preparing a proposal for a coastal research grant using the North Carolina Coastal Research Fellowship application as a specific case study.

Greetings, y’all- this is the fifth blog in the six-post #CoastalResearchGrants series, in which we’re walking through the steps of preparing a proposal for a coastal research grant using the North Carolina Coastal Research Fellowship application as a specific case study. If you’re following along chronologically, you will have a version of your research statement articulated on paper, which we discussed drafting last week.

We’re officially over halfway through our #CoastalResearchGrants series. In this series, we’re walking through the steps of preparing a proposal for a coastal research grant using the North Carolina Coastal Research Fellowship application as a specific case study. Thus far, we’ve primarily focused on what you can do to prepare before you start writing. Last week, we discussed the importance of outlining your ideas.

We’ve made it to the third of six posts in the #CoastalResearchGrants blog series. We’re walking through the steps of preparing a proposal for a coastal research grant using the North Carolina Coastal Research Fellowship application as a specific case study. Recall that “grant writing” is really ~80% preparation and only ~20% writing.

This blog is the second of six weekly posts in the #CoastalResearchGrants blog series, in which we walk through the steps of preparing a proposal for a coastal research grant using the North Carolina Coastal Research Fellowship (NC CRF) application as a specific case study.

Welcome to the first post in the #CoastalResearchGrants blog series. Over the next 6 weeks, we will walk through the steps of preparing a proposal for a coastal research grant.

The Coastal Reserve’s training program has been continuing outreach to real estate professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the virtual meeting platform Webex, three workshops were held in August and Septmeber on low impact development and barrier island development issues. Real estate professionals get four elective continuing education credits for participating in these workshops. 

Marae Lindquist, a PhD student at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, will study two wintering sparrow populations as a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Margaret A. Davidson Fellow with the North Carolina Coastal Reserve & National Estuarine Research Reserve. She will focus her research on the impacts of sea level rise on wintering populations of the saltmarsh sparrow (Ammospiza caudacuta) and seaside sparrow (Ammospiza maritima).
