FAQS
How to submit OAEPIIP application?
To submit your OAEPIIP application, please download the form above and send it to OAEPIIP@utas.edu.au
Which microcosm incubators shall be used for OAEPIIP experiments
- All experiments shall use the FermZilla tanks by Kegland (e.g., https://www.kegland.com.au/products/55l-fermzilla-tri-conical-pressure-brewing-kit?_pos=1&_psq=fermzilla+55&_ss=e&_v=1.0). Both Gen2 or Gen3 are suitable for OAEPIIP. In Tasmania, we used Gen2 tanks so far and these worked very well. The OAEPIIP administration (oaepiip@utas.edu.au) can help with finding the right distributor at your location.
Can I do more than one OAEPIIP experiment?
Yes, it is achievable and would be a valuable addition to OAEPIIP.
You are welcome to do more than one OAEPIIP experiment. However, for now we will only provide funding for one experiment (~12000 US$) per group so that the funding is distributed as evenly among participants as possible. Should there be funding left at the end of the application deadline (15th of June) then we are happy to fund more than one experiment per group. Email us at OAEPIIP@utas.edu.au for more information.
Can equipment purchased via OAEPIIP be kept after the study?
Yes, all materials can be kept by the participating group.
This project, funded by the Carbon to Sea Initiative and endorsed by SOLAS, represents a globally coordinated effort to investigate the potential effects of ocean alkalinity enhancement on diverse plankton communities.
