Nat' Academies Press, A Review of the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program (1994) (7116 words)
Sea Grant was not included in the President's budget for eight years, in part, because it was viewed as a Congressional program of aid to states of unrecognized usefulness to NOAA and to the Department of Commerce (DOC).
At present, the magnitude of the tension among the Sea Grant partners, in particular between NSGO and the state directors, is counterproductive to the goals and objectives of Sea Grant.
Sea Grant's SBIR contribution comes from within NSGO's administrative funding cap; its contribution will rise to approximately $512,000 in FY1995 due to the increase in percentage and a NOAA-wide change in the way the SBIR contribution is calculated, if Sea Grant receives the amount of funding requested in the FY1995 President's budget.
