Project Based Awards

The objective of the Marine Research Programme is to provide funding to the marine sector in Ireland that will:

  • Build new research capacity and capability;
  • Enable sharing of existing knowledge and technology transfer;
  • Increase competitiveness and opportunities for sustainable economic growth;
  • Protect and conserve marine resources;
  • Inform public policy; and
  • Increase public awareness of our maritime heritage.

Project-Based Awards funded by the Marine Institute will provide assistance for appropriate research activities that support the goals of Harnessing Our Ocean Wealth, and/or address the objectives of other national and international marine strategies/plans.
