The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office is now accepting applications for FY19 Chesapeake Bay-Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program. A total of roughly $700,000, subject to appropriations, may be available to fund three to seven new projects.

Applications are due by February 20.

B-WET supports programs that provide hands-on environmental education about issues affecting the Chesapeake Bay watershed for students through “meaningful watershed educational experiences” (MWEEs) and related professional development for educators who serve formal K-12 audiences.

While Chesapeake B-WET focuses on the development and implementation of MWEEs in school districts throughout the Bay watershed, NOAA remains interested in expanding the reach of B-WET into school districts that have never received B-WET support before.

Webinars

Informational webinars, which give potential applicants the opportunity to learn about the program priorities and application process, will be held on January 8 at 2:00 p.m. EST and January 11 at 11 a.m. EST, 2019; more information and registration is available.

For more information on the program, visit NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay-Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Program webpage.  Click Here for examples of education partnerships that have been funded to date, is available. Questions should be directed to Elise Trelegan by sending email to: elise.trelegan@noaa.gov
