This grant offers funding for comprehensive research focused on the critical impact of non-linear sedimentation on dredge-area benthic ecosystems, particularly on the Louisiana shelf. The primary purpose is to develop an advanced understanding of mud-capped pits through an integrated approach. Researchers are expected to combine existing and newly gathered information, utilizing rigorous field observations, precise coring, and advanced data synthesis. The study will also employ sophisticated modeling methods to elucidate the complex sedimentation, physical, biogeochemical, and benthic ecological dynamics within these specific environments. This initiative aims to contribute vital scientific knowledge crucial for effective coastal ecosystem management and policy development in the region.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Louisiana State University Faculty and Staff are eligible to apply under this announcement. Research projects are required to have a Louisiana State University faculty or staff member as the Principal Investigator. Other university researchers and organizations interested in collaborating with Louisiana State University can contact them at the address shown in Section VII. 5 Cooperative research between Louisiana State University scientists and various state agencies is always encouraged. Section VII identifies the Louisiana State University contact information for these discussions. One-to-one matching of BOEM funds is required, but on rare occasions, exceptions may be considered. Match cannot include value associated with collection costs for samples previously collected. Match value for instrumentation and other equipment should be adjusted to the period of use within the project relative to the full life cycle for the item. Further information can be located at 2 CFR 200.306. |
