Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS PIRO 2019 2005950
The 2019 Marine Education and Training (MET) Mini-Grant Program is a competitive funding opportunity offered by the Department of Commerce through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific Islands Region. The program is designed to support small, targeted projects that strengthen marine education, communication, and training across the Pacific Islands region. A central aim is to improve how marine resource issues are understood and discussed in coastal communities, while also building pathways into marine-related scientific and technical careers for local residents.
This grant specifically emphasizes benefits for people who live in coastal and island communities, with an intentional focus on groups that have often been underrepresented in marine science and resource professions. That includes indigenous Pacific islanders, Native Hawaiians, and other underrepresented populations in the region. Projects are expected to make marine resource topics more accessible through education and outreach, and to expand practical training and scientific learning that can prepare participants for marine-related professions. In other words, the program is not just about sharing information; it is also about developing skills and supporting workforce development tied to the marine environment.
Funding is provided through grants and/or cooperative agreements under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 11.452. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and aligns with environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development-related activity areas. The expected scale is intentionally small: the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $15,000 per project, and the program anticipated making about 8 awards. This structure suggests the program is meant for focused, practical efforts that can be implemented relatively quickly and locally, rather than large multi-year initiatives.
The funding opportunity number is NOAA NMFS PIRO 2019 2005950. The notice was created on February 6, 2019, with an original application deadline of April 7, 2019. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice (meaning applicants likely include certain organizations, institutions, or community entities as defined in the complete announcement). Overall, the MET Mini-Grant Program is best understood as a small-grants initiative aimed at improving marine resource education and training in the Pacific Islands region while expanding inclusive participation in marine science and related careers.Apply for NOAA NMFS PIRO 2019 2005950
