Proposal Submission Guidelines

CINAR allows consortium partners (Gulf of Maine Research Institute, Rutgers University, University of Maine, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, University of Rhode Island, and University of Massachusetts Dartmouth - School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST), and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) to submit proposals to NOAA through the Cooperative Agreement #NA24OARX432C008. All proposals are submitted through the lead CINAR institution - WHOI. Guidelines for submission of CINAR proposals for both WHOI and partner institutions are outlined under the corresponding sections (see links below). Each institution should follow their own internal proposal guidelines as well as those designated for CINAR

Our Task I rate for FY25 is 3.5%. 

Please contact Claire Anacreon (canacreon@whoi.edu) for assistance with the proposal process.

Guidance and forms for submitting CINAR proposals in FY25 can be accessed using the buttons below.  The documents and guidance are slightly different depending on whether you are an investigator at WHOI (left button) or at a CINAR partner institution (right button).
