FULL PROPOSAL/ACCEPTED ON A ROLLING BASIS - The SeaKeepers DISCOVERY Yachts program provides marine scientists with a unique and cost effective platform for at sea research by placing researchers on privately owned vessels to conduct oceanographic research. SeaKeepers is committed to promoting ocean research, education and conservation. We are looking for high impact projects that support our missions, foster scientific collaboration and stimulate further exploration. For each expedition a scientist is paired with a vessel that can meet the required research needs, including location, itinerary and vessel specifications outline in the research proposal. The yacht owners’ scientific interests are also taken into account when pairing scientists and their projects with their vessels. Therefore, it is important that submitted proposals speak to the scientific significance of the project, the outreach and broader impact potential and the proposed involvement of the owners, guests and crew onboard. Principal Investigators are responsible for obtaining and financing any required research permits. Travel expenses to/from the vessel are not routinely covered.
