Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2017 National Sea Grant College Program Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) through NOAA under the National Sea Grant College Program. The fellowship is designed to place selected candidates in host offices where they can contribute to marine and coastal policy work, linking academic or technical expertise with real-world decision-making in the federal sphere. It supports work connected to environment, natural resources, science and technology, and broader research and development priorities that intersect with ocean and coastal issues.
Applications were solicited under Funding Opportunity Number NOAA OAR SG 2017 2004620, with the opportunity posted on October 28, 2015 and an application deadline of February 12, 2016. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the funding agency expects to have substantial involvement or ongoing engagement during the period of performance, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The program is associated with CFDA number 11.417, which is tied to Sea Grant-related activities.
NOAA Sea Grant anticipated making not fewer than 30 fellowship awards. A key program detail is that placements in the Legislative Branch could be capped, with up to 12 fellows potentially assigned to legislative offices, while the remainder would be placed elsewhere (commonly executive-branch or related policy settings, depending on the program structure and host availability). Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section of the full announcement, signaling that applicants likely must meet specific program-defined criteria that are not fully captured in the brief synopsis.
Financially, each selected fellow is supported with 56,500 in federal funding. In addition, the host office may choose to provide up to 10,000 more specifically for travel that is related to the fellow's duties in that host office. This creates a maximum potential award value of 66,500 per fellow, which aligns with the published award ceiling. The funding description emphasizes that the travel add-on is optional and controlled by the host office, not guaranteed as part of the base federal amount.
Overall, this opportunity funds a cohort-style fellowship program intended to develop marine policy talent and strengthen the connection between marine science and public policy by embedding fellows in federal policy environments, with NOAA Sea Grant projecting at least 30 funded placements for the 2017 fellowship year.
