Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 Marine Education and Training Mini Grant Program was a competitive funding opportunity offered by the Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), specifically for the Pacific Islands Region. The program was designed to support projects that strengthen marine education and training across the region, with an emphasis on improving how marine resource issues are communicated to the public and how practical education and training opportunities are delivered in coastal communities. A central goal was to expand scientific education and career preparation for marine-related professions, particularly for residents of coastal areas and groups that have historically been underrepresented in marine science and natural resource fields, including indigenous Pacific islanders and Native Hawaiians.
The opportunity fell under a discretionary grant competition and allowed awards through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, depending on the level of NOAA involvement required for a given project. It was categorized across several activity areas, including education, environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development, and it was listed under CFDA 11.452 (Unallied Industry Projects). NOAA indicated that the program was meant to generate practical, regionally relevant outcomes, such as better public understanding of marine resource challenges, stronger local training pipelines, and more effective community-based education efforts that connect people to marine stewardship and marine careers.
Total estimated funding for the program was $150,000. The announcement did not indicate a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be considered eligible. The application window opened with a posted and created date of January 3, 2011, and the closing date for submission was March 4, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on April 3, 2011.
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. NOAA also highlighted its commitment to broadening participation among institutions that serve historically underserved communities, including historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and organizations working in underserved areas. Proposals involving those types of institutions were encouraged, aligning with the program's equity focus and its intent to strengthen access to marine science education and training opportunities.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement online, the listed point of contact was Steve Drescher, identified as a Policy Advisor who could assist with application download issues. The full details, including specific project requirements and submission instructions, were available through the full opportunity announcement referenced in the listing.
