Opportunity Summary:
The PNW B WET Competition is a Department of Commerce, NOAA grant opportunity supporting environmental education in the Pacific Northwest through the NOAA B WET (Bay Watershed Education and Training) program. The program is designed to strengthen locally relevant, hands-on learning for K-12 students by connecting classroom instruction to real watershed and environmental issues. Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to provide meaningful watershed education experiences for students, offer professional development opportunities for teachers, and advance regional education and environmental priorities tied to the Pacific Northwest.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through grants and cooperative agreements (Funding Opportunity Number: NOAA NOS NMS 2015 2004225) under CFDA 11.429, Marine Sanctuary Program. NOAA anticipated making about 6 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $400,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $25,000 (award floor) to $60,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible to organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of applicants that commonly deliver education and community-based environmental programs. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, as well as private institutions of higher education. Nonprofit organizations were eligible both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other Native American tribal organizations were also eligible. This range of eligible entities suggests NOAA intended the competition to support partnerships among schools, nonprofits, tribes, and local governments that can deliver strong, place-based watershed education.
Key dates for the opportunity were posted on October 14, 2014, with the application deadline set for November 21, 2014. The opportunity was archived on December 21, 2014.
