Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA SEC OED 2011 2002684
The opportunity is for accredited postsecondary Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to apply for funding to establish five NOAA Cooperative Science Centers (CSCs). These centers aim to foster partnerships between MSIs and NOAA to support NOAA's mission, which includes understanding environmental changes and managing marine resources. The CSCs will focus on three main goals: educating more diverse students in STEM fields related to NOAA's work, conducting collaborative research with NOAA experts to study oceanic and climatic changes, and developing sustainable capacity in NOAA-related STEM areas at the centers. The initiative is part of NOAA's effort to enhance environmental literacy and STEM education through partnerships with various stakeholders. Interested institutions should refer to the Federal Register notice and the Federal Funding Opportunity announcement for more details, which are available online.
