Morris Animal Foundation accepting genetic research proposals for kelp forest species

Proposals due Dec. 16


Morris Animal Foundation, in partnership with Revive & Restore, is now accepting proposals for studies on genomic sequencing or biobanking for the protection and management of wildlife in kelp forest ecosystems.

This call is for proposals focuses on species that live within kelp forests, including fish, invertebrates, sea birds, marine mammals and kelp. Proposals should describe a conservation-oriented effort that will benefit substantially from genomic sequencing and biobanking.

Applications for the Kelp Forest Ecosystems topic are due Dec. 16, 2022, at 5 p.m. ET.

Dr. Kathy Tietje, vice president of scientific operations at Morris Animal Foundation, said that critical wildlife species in key ecosystems like kelp forests face myriad threats due to habitat degradation and climate change.

“The Wild Genomes Program in partnership with Revive & Restore aims to place innovative conservation tools into the hands of wildlife managers, with the goal of achieving measurable and significant improvement for the health and welfare of wild species around the world,” she said.

Potential projects will be evaluated according to timeliness and urgency, the ecological role of the targeted species, species’ potential role in providing ecosystem services and the potential impact of the project.

Interested researchers should apply online and can learn more on Revive & Restore's website. All proposals submitted in response to this RFP will undergo administrative and scientific review by a Scientific Advisory Board. Additional information, including award types and funding levels, can be found on the foundation's grants page.
