Opportunity Summary:
The FY2014 NOAA Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Hawaii Program was a competitive federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, administered through NOAA (Office for Coastal Management, CFDA 11.473). Its central aim was to advance NOAAs broader mission of science, service, and stewardship by building a more informed and engaged public in Hawaii, especially young people and educators, so that community decisions better support healthy coastal, marine, and watershed ecosystems. The program was designed around the idea that long-term resilience depends not just on scientific knowledge, but on a citizenry that understands local environmental issues and can participate in solutions, particularly as communities face sudden or long-term environmental change.
Funding under this opportunity supported the development and expansion of locally relevant environmental education in K-12 settings, with an emphasis on hands-on, experiential learning tied to real places and real watershed issues in Hawaii. Priority themes included climate literacy, ocean and earth sciences, and community resilience to hazards. Projects were expected to create meaningful watershed educational experiences for students, strengthen teacher capacity through professional development, and often include service learning components where students contribute to their communities through restoration, monitoring, outreach, or other applied activities. The program also encouraged innovative partnerships across schools, nonprofits, universities, and agencies, and favored geographically targeted efforts that align with regional education needs and environmental priorities while complementing national and Hawaii state education requirements.
This was offered as either a grant or a cooperative agreement, and it fell under activity categories spanning education, environment, and science and technology research and development. NOAA anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,000,000. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $10,000 to a ceiling of $100,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for schools and community organizations to apply.
Eligible applicants included K-12 public and independent schools and school systems, institutions of higher education, nonprofit and commercial organizations, state and local government agencies, and Indian tribal governments. Individuals and federal agencies could not apply or receive funds directly; however, federal agencies were allowed to participate as partners and contribute in-kind support. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NOS CSC 2014 2003875) was posted on November 7, 2013, with an application deadline of January 7, 2014, and it was later archived on February 6, 2014. For access issues or questions, the listed federal program contact was Stephanie Bennett at the NOAA Pacific Services Center in Honolulu.
