Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 Alaska Region Marine Education and Training Grant Program was a competitive funding opportunity offered by the Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA/NMFS). It was designed to support projects across Alaska that strengthen marine education, workforce training, and public communication related to marine resources. The overall purpose was practical and region-focused: build better understanding of marine resource issues and expand training pathways that prepare people for marine-related careers tied to conservation and management in Alaska.
A central emphasis of the program was increasing scientific education and career preparation for residents of Alaska's coastal communities, with specific attention to Alaska Natives and other groups that have historically been underrepresented in marine resource conservation and management fields. In other words, proposals were expected to do more than general outreach; they were meant to improve access to relevant training and education that can lead to real participation in marine professions, helping communities develop local expertise connected to the fisheries and marine ecosystems that shape Alaska's economy and way of life.
This opportunity was published on January 3, 2011, and closed on February 17, 2011, with an archive date of March 19, 2011. The estimated total funding available was $500,000. Awards could be made as grants and/or cooperative agreements, meaning NOAA/NMFS could support projects either with a more traditional grant structure or through a cooperative agreement where the agency may have more involvement during implementation, depending on the nature of the project and the award terms.
The funding activity categories for the program were Education, Environment, and Natural Resources, and it was listed under CFDA 11.452 (Unallied Industry Projects). Importantly, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants who might not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility was broad and included individuals, institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments. Federal agencies and federal employees were explicitly not eligible to apply. The notice referenced additional eligibility details in the full announcement, indicating that applicants were expected to consult the complete funding document for any clarifications, project requirements, or special conditions.
For access and submission details, the announcement directed applicants to use the "Full Opportunity" posting. A contact was provided for technical difficulty obtaining the announcement electronically: Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, specifically noted as a point of contact for application download issues.
