Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 National Sea Grant College Program Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship is a federal fellowship opportunity run through the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program under the U.S. Department of Commerce. Its core purpose is to give graduate and professional students in marine and aquatic-related fields a structured, hands-on educational experience in how marine policy is developed and implemented within both the Legislative and Executive Branches of the U.S. government. In other words, it is designed to place emerging marine professionals into real policy environments so they can learn how federal decision-making works and how science, management, and public priorities intersect. The program also aligns with NOAA's mission focus on protecting, restoring, and managing coastal and ocean resources using ecosystem-based management approaches.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and can be issued as either a cooperative agreement or a grant, under CFDA 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). It falls within education, environment, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development activity areas. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the funding structure expects some form of non-federal contribution as part of participation (the details are typically spelled out in the full announcement or through the state Sea Grant program administering the application).
Eligibility is centered on individual students, but the submission pathway runs through state Sea Grant programs. An eligible applicant is any student, regardless of citizenship, who is enrolled toward a graduate or professional degree in a marine or aquatic-related field as of February 18, 2011, with the degree to be awarded by a U.S.-accredited institution of higher education located in the United States or U.S. territories. Applicants do not apply directly to NOAA; instead, they submit their application materials to the Sea Grant program in the state where their university is located, and only the state Sea Grant College Programs (SGCPs) are eligible to forward applications to the National Sea Grant College Program. Applicants are expected to consult with their state SGCP before submitting. Students located in states not served by a state Sea Grant program are instructed to contact the National Sea Grant College Program for referral to an appropriate SGCP.
The fellowship is explicitly a one-time opportunity: individuals who have participated in the fellowship in previous years are not eligible to apply again. The posting date for this opportunity was July 20, 2010, and the application deadline (original and current) was April 1, 2011, with the archive date listed as May 1, 2011. For access to the complete announcement details, the notice directs applicants to use the "full opportunity" link in the original posting. Technical help for application download issues is directed to Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor.
