2007 - Center for Coastal Resources Management - Virginia Institute ...

Personnel and Funding
The Center has a full time staff of about individuals and supports several graduate
students. The staffing varies slightly depending on grant and contract activities. Currently the
Commonwealth of Virginia provides base funding for the Center that covers less than 50% of
the salary expenses and about 5% of the annual operating expenses. The balance of funding
is derived from grant and contract activity. The primary sources of this support have been the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Virginia’s Coastal Resource Management Program
(funding from NOAA). Other sources of recent funding have included National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation, Virginia Department of Health,
Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, and private donors.
