The Architectural Change
From separate installations to one connected platform.
Separate installations. No shared foundation.
Each program retains secure, controlled access to its own data, with the option for controlled collaboration across the network.
New: Cross-Program Collaboration
From individual programs to network collaboration.
A common platform architecture creates possibilities that separate installations cannot. Multiple programs can collaborate around shared activities while retaining control over what is shared and with whom.
Design Principle
Accessibility, built into the foundation.
Not a checkbox. A design principle applied from the ground up so applicants, reviewers and administrators can all use the platform effectively.
Applicants
A clear, usable path to apply — for every user.
Reviewers
Accessible review tools, including screen reader support and full keyboard navigation.
Administrators
Manage the full lifecycle without accessibility barriers.
Our objective is premium, first-class accessibility — not the minimum necessary to comply.
Looking Ahead
Built AI-ready.
Several AI-driven capabilities are planned during 2026, all in service of one goal: making people more productive.
Use AI where it saves real time — not AI for AI's sake.
The Foundation
A Future Opportunity
An opportunity to bring PIER into eSeaGrant.
With multiple programs operating on a common data architecture, eSeaGrant 2026 creates the opportunity to build the PIER reporting layer more directly into the platform.
Future opportunity — not a current commitmentBringing It Together
One foundation.
More possibilities.
A common platform, not a shared program. Each program controls its own data while choosing when and how to collaborate. This is what moving from separate installations to a network platform makes possible.
eSeaGrant 2026
Built for your program.
Ready for the network.
More than 20 Sea Grant programs already run on eSeaGrant. eSeaGrant 2026 carries that foundation forward and opens the door to what the network can do together.
