Opportunity Summary:
The 2016 Marine Education and Training Mini Grant Program is a competitive funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), specifically for the Pacific Islands Region. The program is designed to support practical, community-facing projects that strengthen how marine resource topics are communicated and taught across the region. A central emphasis is on improving education and training related to marine resources, while also encouraging greater participation in marine and science-based career pathways.
This mini-grant program targets projects that help coastal communities better understand marine resource issues and build skills that are useful for marine-related work. The opportunity explicitly prioritizes efforts that expand scientific education and workforce preparation among people who live in coastal areas, with particular attention to groups that have historically been underrepresented in marine and science professions. That includes indigenous Pacific islanders, Native Hawaiians, and other underserved or underrepresented populations in the Pacific Islands Region. In practice, this could include educational workshops, hands-on training, locally relevant outreach materials, community science activities, or other training and education approaches that make marine science and management concepts more accessible and actionable.
Awards are offered through grants or cooperative agreements, reflecting that projects may range from relatively independent educational efforts to initiatives that involve closer collaboration with NOAA/NMFS. The maximum award amount is $15,000 per project, and NOAA anticipated making around 20 awards, indicating an intent to fund multiple smaller projects rather than a few large ones. The program falls under CFDA number 11.452 and is categorized under environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on November 5, 2015, and applications were due by February 3, 2016. The funding opportunity number associated with this solicitation is NOAA NMFS PIRO 2016 2004728. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants would consult the opportunity's additional eligibility language in the full notice to confirm whether their organization type and proposed activities fit the program requirements. Overall, the program is structured as a small-grants vehicle to quickly seed or expand marine education and training efforts that are locally grounded, culturally relevant, and geared toward strengthening community capacity and participation in marine-related fields across the Pacific Islands Region.
