Working Together: Developing a Cooperative Research
Project and Proposal -- Guidance on Preparing a Resume

As part of the application process, applicants may be asked to submit a resume listing their credentials and experience. Researchers and funding programs may be interested in knowing details about participating fishing vessels. A vessel resume lists the dimensions of the vessel and describes installed equipment, accommodations, deck space, operational limitations, etc.
