Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS ONMS 2018 2005158
The Great Lakes Bay Watershed Education and Training Program (B-WET) FY18 is a competitive NOAA grant opportunity run by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries within the U.S. Department of Commerce. Its core purpose is to strengthen environmental literacy across the entire Great Lakes watershed by funding education efforts that help students and teachers better understand watershed systems and apply that understanding to real-world environmental decision-making. The program is designed to both sustain strong, established environmental education initiatives and encourage the development of new, innovative approaches, with a clear emphasis on building long-term capacity and partnerships among schools, community organizations, and other local or regional stakeholders.
Funded projects are expected to deliver Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) for students. In practical terms, this means hands-on, inquiry-based learning tied to watershed concepts, often involving outdoor or field-based components and activities that connect classroom learning to local water resources and environmental issues. Alongside student experiences, proposals are also expected to include related professional development for teachers, helping educators gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to deliver high-quality watershed education and to sustain these learning experiences beyond the grant period. The program also aims to advance regional Great Lakes education and environmental priorities, indicating that projects should be relevant to the Great Lakes context and aligned with needs or goals recognized in the region.
This funding opportunity supports work in environment, natural resources, and science and technology-related education and development. Awards are offered as either grants or cooperative agreements under CFDA number 11.429, with NOAA anticipating around 15 awards. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $75,000 per award. The opportunity was posted on April 4, 2017, with an original application deadline of June 2, 2017. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility specifics referenced as being provided in the full opportunity text.
From NOAA's perspective, this program directly supports the agency's long-term goal of "Healthy Oceans," emphasizing the idea that fisheries, habitats, and biodiversity are sustained within healthy, productive ecosystems. Even though the focus here is the Great Lakes watershed, the underlying logic is the same: healthy aquatic ecosystems depend on informed stewardship and sound decisions. The program also advances NOAA's engagement objective by aiming to build an engaged, educated public with improved capacity to make scientifically informed environmental decisions. In short, Great Lakes B-WET FY18 is structured to fund practical, education-centered projects that connect students and teachers to watershed science and stewardship in ways that are locally relevant, instructionally strong, and built to last through partnerships and capacity building.Apply for NOAA NOS ONMS 2018 2005158
