Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 Marine Education and Training Mini Grant Program is a competitive funding opportunity offered by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA/NMFS) within the U.S. Department of Commerce, focused specifically on the Pacific Islands Region. The program is designed to support practical, community-facing projects that strengthen communication, education, and training around marine resource issues across the region. A central goal is to expand scientific learning and workforce readiness for marine-related careers among people who live in coastal communities, with particular emphasis on indigenous Pacific islanders, Native Hawaiians, and other groups that have historically been underrepresented in marine science and resource-management professions.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary program under CFDA 11.452 (Unallied Industry Projects) and makes awards through either grants or cooperative agreements. The total estimated funding available for the program is about $200,000, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $15,000 per project and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, making it more accessible for smaller community groups and education-focused organizations.
Eligibility is broad, covering individuals as well as a wide range of organization types, including institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments. At the same time, there are clear limitations: federal agencies, federal instrumentalities, and federal employees are not eligible to apply. Another important restriction is geographic: eligible applicants are limited to those located within the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management areas, reflecting the program's intent to concentrate benefits in the Pacific Islands Region rather than operate as a nationwide education grant.
The timeline for the 2013 cycle reflects a standard federal competition window. The opportunity was posted and created on January 17, 2013, and the application deadline was March 15, 2013 (the original and current closing date are the same). The announcement was later archived on April 14, 2013. In practice, this means the program was structured as a short-turnaround mini-grant competition, encouraging proposals that can be planned and submitted quickly and that are likely to be implemented efficiently at a relatively small scale.
Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Ms. Kara Miller at the NOAA Fisheries Service, Pacific Islands Regional Office in Honolulu, Hawaii (1601 Kapiolani Blvd., Suite 1110, Honolulu, HI 96814; phone 808-944-2147).
