Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2013 NOAA California Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program is a competitive federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), aimed at strengthening environmental education across three major California coastal watershed regions: the San Francisco Bay, Monterey Bay, and Santa Barbara Channel watersheds. The program is designed to both support strong existing watershed education efforts and help new or expanding programs get off the ground, with a clear emphasis on collaboration. A central goal is to encourage partnerships among schools, nonprofits, higher education institutions, government entities, and other education providers so that watershed education is more coordinated, higher quality, and reaches more students and teachers.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to deliver hands-on, meaningful watershed learning experiences for K-12 students while also providing professional development for teachers. In practice, that means proposals should focus on getting students engaged with real-world environmental and watershed topics in ways that connect learning to local waters, habitats, and community issues, rather than relying only on classroom lectures or one-time presentations. At the same time, the program prioritizes improving teacher capacity by supporting training that helps educators effectively teach environmental education concepts and apply them in their own classrooms and field activities.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity includes both grants and cooperative agreements, and it is categorized under education and science/technology/research and development activities. NOAA anticipated making about 15 awards under this competition. Individual awards were expected to range from $30,000 to $60,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have access to non-federal match funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes K-12 public and independent schools and school systems, colleges and universities, nonprofit organizations, state and local government agencies, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. NOAA also highlights its commitment to broadening participation from institutions that have historically been underrepresented in federal funding, including historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and institutions serving underserved areas. Proposals involving these types of partners were explicitly encouraged by NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number NOAA NOS NMS 2013 2003447 and the CFDA number 11.429 (Marine Sanctuary Program). The opportunity was posted on August 28, 2012, with an application deadline of November 1, 2012, and it was archived on December 1, 2012. Questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to Ms. Seaberry J. Nachbar at NOAA (99 Pacific Street, Building 455, Monterey, CA 93940; phone 831-647-4204).
