Global OAE Field Research Network RFP 2026 for Researchers in the Global South ($5 Million Funding)
The Carbon to Sea Initiative is launching a $5 million Request for Proposals (RFP) to expand the Global OAE Field Research Network. This initiative aims to generate essential field data to evaluate ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) as a viable method for carbon dioxide removal. The RFP will support projects that connect researchers and field sites globally, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.
This funding opportunity is particularly focused on engaging researchers and institutions from the Global South, which are often underrepresented in ocean-climate research. The initiative encourages collaborative proposals that build shared capacity and accelerate learning across diverse ocean environments.
Eligibility
Open to researchers and field site developers worldwide, with a particular emphasis on those from the Global South.
Deadline: Rolling
Benefits
Up to $5 million available for selected proposals to support field sites, technical demonstrations, and international collaboration.
