Researchers Explore New Avenues With Help From Ohio Sea Grant Small Grants

Often in academic research, it seems that all that matters is the big numbers: press releases report on hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for multi-year projects with large research teams. But small grants can be equally as important to an area of study, first and foremost because most scientists don’t start out by winning those highly competitive large grants.

Ohio Sea Grant’s Small Grants Program allows researchers to submit funding proposals at any time, for up to $10,000. While that generally does not cover a full project, it allows researchers to explore new aspects of their areas of interest, to potentially expand on in future investigations.
