Great Lakes Bay Watershed Education

and Training Program (DOC)

Scope: The Commerce Department’s National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration seeks applications for

the FY2021 Great Lakes Bay Watershed Education and

Training (B-WET) Program to support existing, high-

quality environmental education programs; foster the

growth of new, innovative programs; and encourage

capacity building and partnership development for

environmental and place-based education programs

throughout the entire Great Lakes watershed.

Deadline: Aug. 21, 2020.

Funds: $850,000 for up to 17 awards ranging from

$30,000 to $80,000.

Eligibility: K–12 public and independent schools and

school systems; colleges and universities; nonprot

organizations; interstate agencies; and state, local and

Native American tribal governments.

Areas: DOC said successful projects provide

Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences

(MWEEs) for students and related professional

development for teachers, while advancing regional

Great Lakes watershed education priorities. MWEEs

are multistage activities that include learning both

outdoors and in the classroom, and that aim to increase

the environmental literacy of all participants. Teachers

should support students to investigate topics both locally

and globally that are of interest to them, learn they

have control over the outcome of environmental issues,

identify actions available to address these issues and

understand the value of those actions.
