Opportunity Summary:
The NOAA New England Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), designed to strengthen K-12 environmental education across New England through hands-on, locally relevant watershed learning. The program focuses on experiential education that connects classroom learning to real places and real environmental issues, with the goal of helping students understand watersheds, coastal ecosystems, and the environmental challenges and priorities that matter in their own communities. Funded projects are expected to deliver meaningful watershed-based educational experiences for students and also provide professional development that equips teachers to deliver high-quality, standards-aligned environmental education.
Awards are offered through grants and cooperative agreements, supporting education and environmental programming within the broader category of natural resources and science and technology-related research and development activities. NOAA anticipated making about five awards with an estimated total program funding of $300,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible to schools and community organizations that may not have the capacity to contribute non-federal match.
Eligibility is intentionally broad to encourage strong partnerships and regional impact. Eligible applicants include K-12 public and independent schools and school districts, colleges and universities, community-based and nonprofit organizations, state and local government agencies, interstate agencies, and Indian tribal governments. While applicants do not have to be physically located in New England, proposed projects must serve target audiences within the New England states, aligning the work with regional priorities. NOAA also emphasizes broadening participation from underrepresented groups and institutions, including historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and organizations serving underserved areas. Participation by these groups is considered during proposal review, signaling that equity and access are important program values.
