field experiences, synthesis and conclusions, and action projects.

The goal is to increase understanding and stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay and its local watersheds, including the rivers, upland streams, and natural habitats found throughout the region.

Projects advance the environmental literacy goal of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement and the NOAA Education Strategic Plan.

This year’s funding announcement is focused on expanding the reach of NOAA B-WET into school districts that have never received funding for systemic programs.

While applicants that have previously received B-WET funding are eligible to apply, to be competitive they should address the program priority of expanding the reach of NOAA B-WET into school districts that have never received B-WET support as described in Section I.B., Program Priorities.

In addition, only school districts with more than 25% of their land mass falling in the Chesapeake Bay watershed are eligible, as described in Section I.B., Program Priorities.

The Department of Commerce/ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (DOC/NOAA) is strongly committed to broadening the participation of historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, and institutions that work in underserved areas.

The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO) encourages proposals involving any of the above institutions.
