Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS ONMS 2018 2005412
The 2018 Pacific Northwest Bay-Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) opportunity is a NOAA education-focused grant program run through the Department of Commerce, specifically NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries via the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary office. It is designed to fund K-12 environmental education projects in the Pacific Northwest that are grounded in local places and real-world environmental issues. The central idea is to move beyond classroom-only instruction by supporting hands-on, field-based, and community-connected learning that helps students understand watersheds and the ways land, water, and human activities are linked.
This opportunity funds projects that deliver Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs). In practice, that means proposals should center on structured, experiential learning where students actively investigate a watershed-related question or problem, collect and analyze data, connect findings to broader environmental concepts, and communicate what they learned. The program also emphasizes teacher support, so strong proposals typically include professional development that helps educators gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver these watershed experiences effectively and align them with curriculum needs. NOAA also frames the program as a way to advance regional education and environmental priorities in the Pacific Northwest, suggesting projects should be locally relevant and connected to community or ecosystem needs in that region.
From a funding and administration standpoint, this is a discretionary federal funding opportunity that can be awarded as either a grant or a cooperative agreement. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 11.429. NOAA anticipated making about 9 awards, with an award ceiling of $60,000 per project. The opportunity was posted on October 17, 2017, with an original application deadline of December 15, 2017. The funding opportunity number is NOAA NOS ONMS 2018 2005412, and the program is commonly referenced as Pacific Northwest B-WET.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details expected in the full announcement's eligibility section. In general, NOAA education grant programs often allow a range of applicant types such as nonprofit organizations, school districts, universities, tribes, and other institutions involved in education or community-based environmental work, but applicants would need to confirm the exact eligible entities and any geographic requirements in the official notice.
Finally, NOAA positions this program within its larger mission and vision around sustaining healthy ocean and coastal ecosystems. While the projects are education grants, NOAA explicitly ties them to long-term outcomes like improving ocean and watershed literacy, strengthening stewardship, and helping ensure ocean, estuarine, and connected ecosystems and their species remain healthy and resilient despite ongoing environmental challenges.Apply for NOAA NOS ONMS 2018 2005412
