Important note for Principal Investigators  (PIs)

•  Funding of all proposals is contingent upon UOGSG’s allocation from NOAA in the FY2028 and FY2029 federal budgets. Modification in the number of and funding for individual proposals may be made based upon the final program budget.

•  PIs must provide a strong rationale for how their proposed research will affect policy and/or management decisions and how that information will be communicated outside of academia. UOGSG staff can assist with these efforts.

•  A Data Management and Sharing Plan and abbreviated environmental compliance questionnaire is required in the full proposal. PIs should consider data management funding needs as they develop their budgets, and understand their role and responsibility in obtaining all necessary permits prior to commencing field work.

•  Applicants outside of Guam may require a contract to disburse funds. This carries a 4% tax that should be incorporated into the project budget.
