Description

Activities
The mitsg college program is committed to providing scientific and technical leadership, bringing the expertise and resources of the MIT community to address high-priority issues for the commonwealth of massachusetts. Mitsg will continue to support research, develop innovative technology, and provide education, outreach, and extension services to address coastal and ocean issues of greatest concern to our constituent groups in massachusetts, the region, and beyond. Four focus areas address the core of the national sea grant college program mission and vision, and provide a framework for our work in line with the mitsg 2024-2027 strategic plan: environmental literacy and workforce development; healthy coastal ecosystems; sustainable fisheries and aquaculture; and resilient communities and economies, along with cross-cutting principles focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We accomplish our omnibus commitments through a combined effort involving three primary program units: (1) program management: responsible for overseeing program operations and management of the various mitsg funding competitions and fellowship programs; (2) the advisory services group: responsible for providing constituent driven research, education, outreach, and extension programs that address constituent needs and priorities relative to ocean and coastal environments through direct collaborations and the transfer of information and technology resulting from mitsg ASG, funded research, and education programs; and (3) education: to increase stem ocean-literacy among the citizens of massachusetts, and inspiring and training the next generation of marine scientists and engineers while serving massachusetts coastal communities, industry, and resource management needs. This omnibus proposal describes mitsgs activities for the next four years, which include the following priority areas: fisheries and seafood technology, ocean acidification, coastal resilience and climate impacts, marine debris, ocean engineering education, ocean renewable energy, marine aquaculture, support of workforce development relative to the sea grant focus areas, and constituent extension services. The constituent extension services also provide valuable input in support of these priority areas.
Expected outcomes
Mitsg will provide information, technology, education, training, and workforce development services that provide solutions for constituent priority needs.
Intended beneficiaries
Mitsgs first priority is to serve the people, communities, organizations, and industry of massachusetts. Mitsg extends and works to extend the benefits of its work to constituents beyond massachusetts.
Subrecipient activities
Subrecipients include those receiving funding through the mitsg biennial and stream grant funding competitions, and the mitsg fellowship opportunities identified in the following sections of this omnibus proposal. Additional subrecipients and their activities will be identified as they emerge throughout the omnibus period. The estimated number of people to be served as a result of the award of this grant will be determined over the four-year omnibus period.
