I. Abstract
NOAA's Sea Grant Program exists to increase the understanding,

grantee funding expected for the project, broken down by a number of
cost categories. The information is used by both NOAA and the grantee
to determine costs and whether proposed matching costs are allowable.
The information is also used in negotiating
