Opportunity Summary:
The National Ocean Science Bowl (NOSB) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00034) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support the National Ocean Science Bowl, an annual high school academic competition. The program is designed to give students a structured, competitive forum to build and demonstrate strong skills in math and science while introducing them to ocean sciences as an interdisciplinary field. A core purpose is educational and workforce-oriented: it helps students see ocean science not just as a school subject, but as a possible long-term academic and career pathway that connects science, technology, and natural resource issues.
This opportunity is categorized under Education, Environment, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology/Research and Development. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance - Generic Training). The government anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award amount was fixed, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $25,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the notice states there is no application process. Instead, the announcement functions as a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the National Ocean Science Bowl Consortium for Ocean Leadership. In other words, this was not a competitive grant open to general applicants; it was a planned direct award to a specified organization to carry out the NOSB-related work.
The opportunity was posted and created on November 28, 2012, with an original and current closing date of December 14, 2012, and it was archived on December 15, 2012. Additional details were referenced through Grants.gov. For questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Tracy Mccleaf at 304-876-7781 or TracyMcCleaf@fws.gov.
