Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship (Knauss Fellowship Program) is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Sea Grant Office (NSGO) opportunity designed to place graduate and professional students with strong marine or aquatic backgrounds into the federal policy arena for an intensive, hands-on learning experience. The central purpose of the fellowship is educational: it is meant to expose emerging marine leaders to how policy is developed and implemented across both the Legislative and Executive Branches of the U.S. Government. In doing so, the program supports NOAA's mission priorities, specifically the goal of protecting, restoring, and managing the use of coastal and ocean resources through ecosystem-based management. The award is offered under the Sea Grant Act mandate, reflecting Sea Grant's broader responsibility to build capacity through training and professional development in fields tied to the ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted July 11, 2008 under Funding Opportunity Number OAR SG 2010 2001562, with the activity categories spanning education, environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development. Funding is provided through either a cooperative agreement or a grant mechanism, and the program anticipated making about 30 awards. The award ceiling listed for a fellowship was $44,000, and the opportunity carried a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning some form of non-federal contribution was expected as part of the overall support structure (the specific approach is typically described in the full federal announcement and often involves how Sea Grant programs administer or supplement fellow support).
Eligibility is broad in terms of nationality: any student, regardless of citizenship, could apply as long as they met the academic and timing requirements. Specifically, applicants needed to be enrolled as of February 20, 2009 in a graduate or professional degree program in a marine or aquatic-related field at an accredited U.S. institution of higher education located in the United States or U.S. Territories. Rather than applying directly to NOAA as an individual in the first instance, prospective fellows were required to apply through their State Sea Grant College Program (SGCP). This state-level step is a key feature of the Knauss process, because state Sea Grant programs typically screen, endorse, and forward a selected set of applications to NOAA for national consideration.
The timeline had two important deadlines. First, applications from prospective fellows to their State Sea Grant College Programs were due February 20, 2009, though applicants were advised to confirm any state-level internal deadlines with their local Sea Grant office. Second, the sponsoring Sea Grant programs then submitted the selected applications to the National Sea Grant Office through Grants.gov, with a firm deadline of 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on April 3, 2009. The Grants.gov timestamp served as the official basis for determining whether an application was submitted on time. The opportunity was later archived on May 3, 2009.
The program is associated with CFDA number 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). For those needing assistance, the notice listed a NOAA contact: Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, at 301-713-0926, and it indicated that applicants should refer to the full opportunity announcement (via the "Full Opportunity" link in the posting) for detailed instructions, state program contact information, and application requirements.
