RCP worked with the Rhode Island Research Alliance (part of the Rhode Island Science and Technology Advisory Council), to provide peer-review for their Collaborative Research Grant Awards. The awards are designed to support inter-disciplinary, collaborative research projects in coastal ecology which have the potential for technology development. RCP provided 24 reviews for proposals submitted to this award, and recruited peer reviewers from the scientific community. Reviewers had expertise in fields ranging from analytical chemistry and nanopore sensing to phytoplankton biology and ecological modeling.
