Application for OCEES Research Support Funds

OCEES has limited emergency funds, especially for members who are active in OCEES, run their grants through OCEES, and are investing in projects that support the mission of OCEES. If you have a funding request, please fill out the Application for OCEES Research Support Funds (opens in a new window). The OCEES directors will read, evaluate, and vote on the funding request.
