CONSULTATION 



The full scope and orientation of the Sea Grant 

 Program concept should be developed by each 

 proposing institution on the basis of practical 

 considerations of institutional interest and com- 

 petence and the needs of the region to be served. 

 The Foundation's Office of Sea Grant Programs 

 is prepared to consult with prospective propos- 

 ers, especially during the formative stages of 

 proposal development. 



PLANNING GRANTS 



It is recognized that in some cases plans for 

 Sea Grant Programs will entail considerable ex- 

 pense, especially in those cases where the re- 

 gional or cooperative aspects of the plan require 

 preliminary studies or regional conferences in 

 order to develop background data. In such cases 

 the Foundation will be willing to consider pre- 

 liminary requests and to award a limited number 

 of modest planning grants to help support such 

 preliminary activities. Proposals for planning 

 grants should follow the general format de- 

 scribed above insofar as possible. Contributions 

 by the institution totalling at least one-third of 

 the cost of the planning activities will be re- 

 quired in accordance with the requirements of 

 the Act. (Please refer to the General Considera- 

 tions, page 8.)
