The center received 43 pre-proposals with approximately $4 million in requests. Full proposals were solicited from 22 researchers. After a stringent and lengthy peer-review process (involving 90 external reviews) ten proposals were selected for funding.
"The diversity and the inter-disciplinary nature of the chosen projects are essential to the study of highly migratory species," said Molly Lutcavage, director of the Large Pelagics Research Center and research associate professor at UNH. Awards went to the following projects:
