Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2014 National Sea Grant College Program Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, administered through NOAA Sea Grant (CFDA 11.417). It supports the Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship Program, which places selected graduate-level fellows in policy settings tied to ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes issues. The core purpose is to build a pipeline of professionals who can bring scientific and technical training into real-world public policy and decision-making at the national level, especially in areas affecting marine and coastal resources.
NOAA Sea Grant anticipated funding no fewer than 30 fellows under this announcement, with the note that placements in the Legislative Branch could be capped at 10. The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. Each fellowship award is funded at a total of $56,500 in federal funds, with an award floor of $0 and an award ceiling of $56,500, reflecting that the per-fellow amount is essentially fixed at the stated level. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to provide non-federal matching funds to participate.
Eligibility is described in two layers: who can be the fellow and who can be the applicant organization that submits the application for federal funding. On the fellow side, an eligible candidate is any student, regardless of citizenship, who as of February 15, 2013 was enrolled in a graduate or professional degree program and has an interest in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and the national policy decisions that affect those resources. A key requirement is that the graduate degree must be awarded through a U.S.-accredited institution of higher education located in the United States or U.S. territories. On the applicant side, the entities that can apply for and receive the federal funds are limited to organizations within the Sea Grant network and related eligible institutions, such as state government entities, public or private academic institutions, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, along with other organization types that are part of the Sea Grant network as referenced in the full eligibility text.
Important timing details in the posting show that the opportunity was originally posted October 25, 2012, with an original closing date of March 29, 2013, later extended to April 2, 2013.
