Opportunity Summary:
The NOAA New England Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program is a Department of Commerce grant opportunity that supports hands-on environmental education for K-12 students across New England, with a specific focus on locally relevant watershed learning. The program is designed to move beyond classroom-only instruction by funding projects that immerse students in meaningful watershed educational experiences, such as field-based investigations, outdoor learning, and place-based activities tied to local bays, rivers, wetlands, and coastal ecosystems. A central goal is to connect what students learn in school to real environmental conditions and challenges in their own communities, reinforcing both environmental literacy and practical science learning.
Projects funded through this competition are expected to benefit students directly while also strengthening teacher capacity. Alongside student experiences, the program emphasizes professional development for teachers so educators can deliver higher-quality watershed instruction and sustain the work after the grant period ends. In practice, this often means training teachers in field methods, data collection, curriculum integration, and strategies for using the local environment as a learning laboratory. The overall intent is to support regional education and environmental priorities in New England by building lasting partnerships and improving how watershed and coastal topics are taught in K-12 settings.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA-NMFS-NERO-2013-2003467) was offered through cooperative agreements and grants under CFDA 11.469. NOAA anticipated making about 6 awards. Individual awards ranged from a minimum (award floor) of $10,000 to a maximum (award ceiling) of $80,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for schools and community organizations that may not have access to significant non-federal funds.
Eligibility was broad and aimed at organizations capable of delivering K-12 watershed education in the region. Eligible applicants included K-12 public and independent schools and school systems; institutions of higher education; community-based and nonprofit organizations; and state, county, local, or Indian tribal government agencies, as well as regional organizations. This wide eligibility reflects the program model, which often relies on collaborations among schools, universities, nonprofits, and local or state agencies to provide students with authentic watershed experiences, access to expertise, and connections to ongoing environmental work.
Key administrative details for the archived competition include a posted and creation date of August 14, 2012, and an application deadline of October 22, 2012, with the opportunity archived on November 21, 2012. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Deirdre Kimball, New England B-WET Federal Program Officer, at 978-291-9290.
