The program invests in ideas generated by the fishing public through fair and competitive methods and, where appropriate, seeks to partner persons in the fishing industries with academic researchers to ensure useful, well-documented results. Proposals submitted by those not involved in a fishing industry must be submitted with a fisher as co-principal investigator, have substantial involvement of North Carolina fishers, and have written endorsements from persons or organizations representing fishing industries supporting the project.
