Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2016 National Sea Grant College Program Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship is a competitive federal fellowship opportunity run through the Department of Commerce under NOAA Sea Grant. The program supports graduate and professional students who want hands-on experience at the intersection of marine science and public policy, especially as it relates to ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes issues. The fellowship places selected individuals in policy settings, generally within either the Executive Branch or the Legislative Branch, to work on national-level decisions that affect marine and coastal resources.
For FY 2016, Sea Grant projected funding for not fewer than 30 fellows, with the number of placements in the Legislative Branch potentially capped at 10. The notice also lists an expected 60 awards overall, and an estimated total funding level of $3,390,000, indicating a sizable cohort and broad program footprint. Each individual award is fixed at $56,500 in federal funds (both the award ceiling and floor are $56,500), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the opportunity falls under the Environment, Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development activity category. The CFDA number associated with the program is 11.417 (Sea Grant Support). While the fellowship benefits individual students, applications are routed through Sea Grant programs rather than submitted directly by students as standalone applicants, and submissions must go through Grants.gov.
Eligibility is centered on student status and academic program requirements rather than citizenship. Any student, regardless of citizenship, could be eligible as long as they were enrolled as of February 13, 2015 in a graduate or professional degree program and had an interest in ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources and the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The degree itself must be awarded by a U.S.-accredited institution of higher education located in the United States or U.S. Territories. In practical terms, the program is geared toward students who can bridge technical or disciplinary training with policy work, and who want to translate that expertise into public service or policy-oriented careers.
