Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2011 NOAA Pacific Northwest Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program was a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA to support hands-on, locally relevant environmental education for K-12 students across the Pacific Northwest. The program focused on experiential learning tied to watersheds, meaning projects were expected to get students learning through real-world activities connected to local water systems and related environmental issues. In addition to student learning experiences, the program emphasized professional development for teachers so that watershed-based education could be delivered effectively and sustained beyond a single event or field trip. Overall, funded projects were meant to align with and strengthen regional education and environmental priorities, reinforcing both classroom learning and stewardship outcomes in the Pacific Northwest.
Awards were offered through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 11.429 (Marine Sanctuary Program). NOAA anticipated making about 13 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $25,000 (award floor) and $60,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered barriers to participation for schools and community organizations that might not have been able to bring additional funding to the table.
Eligibility was broad and included K-12 public and independent schools and school systems, colleges and universities, community-based and nonprofit organizations, state and local government agencies, interstate agencies, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. NOAA also highlighted an agency-wide commitment to widening participation from institutions that serve historically underserved communities, including historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and institutions serving underserved areas. A key geographic point was that applicants did not necessarily have to be physically located in the targeted regions described in the program objectives, but they did need to be working with target audiences in those Pacific Northwest areas, meaning the project activities and benefits had to reach the intended regional communities and learners.
The opportunity was posted on July 29, 2010, with an application deadline of October 8, 2010, and it was later archived on November 7, 2010. The funding opportunity number was NOAA-NOS-NMS-2011-2002645. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice directed them to contact Steve Drescher (Policy Advisor) for application download issues.
