Description: NOAA&#8217;s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary office) is seeking proposals under the Great Lakes Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) program (https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/bwet/greatlakes/). The Great Lakes B-WET program is an environmental education program that supports locally relevant, authentic experiential learning in the K-12 environment. Funded projects provide Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs; defined below) for students, related professional development for teachers, and help to support regional education and environmental priorities in the Great Lakes. The primary delivery is through competitive grants. The Great Lakes B-WET program awards are funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The FY22 Great Lakes B-WET funding announcement focuses on a single priority area of projects combining long-term, classroom-integrated Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) for students and teacher professional development. For Great Lakes B-WET, applicants may be physically located in any U.S. state; however, education projects must target teachers and students in the Great Lakes region. For the purposes of this solicitation, the Great Lakes region includes counties in the Great Lakes watershed in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
