Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NOS OCM 2019 2005858
The FY2019 NOAA Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Hawaii Program is a competitive federal grant and cooperative agreement opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA. It is designed to advance NOAA's broader mission of science, service, and stewardship by strengthening environmental education across Hawaii, with a clear focus on coastal, marine, and watershed systems. The program is built around a long-term vision of communities and ecosystems that remain healthy and resilient even as they face sudden shocks or long-term environmental change.
At its core, this funding opportunity aims to support Hawaii communities by helping cultivate a well-informed public that can participate in and influence decisions affecting local natural resources. The program emphasizes K-12 education that is locally relevant and hands-on, prioritizing experiential learning approaches that connect students directly to real places and real environmental challenges in their islands and watersheds. Projects are expected to help students understand and engage with key topics such as ocean, earth, and atmospheric sciences; community resilience to hazards; and place-based environmental management. The intent is to fund work that not only teaches concepts, but also helps students and educators apply those concepts to practical stewardship and community decision-making.
B-WET Hawaii funds efforts that develop new educational programs, strengthen and expand innovative partnerships among environmental education providers, and support geographically targeted initiatives that align with both national and Hawaii school requirements. Funded projects typically provide meaningful watershed educational experiences for students, include professional development opportunities for teachers, and often incorporate service-learning components where students contribute to their communities through environmental projects. Overall, awards are meant to reinforce regional education and environmental priorities, linking classroom learning to field experiences and local resource concerns.
