Funding available through NOAA's Bay Watershed Education and Training 
(B-WET) Program!

NOAA B-WET provides grants in support of locally relevant experiential
learning through meaningful watershed educational experiences in the K-12
environment. The NOAA B-WET program has been highly successful in the three
regions where it currently operates (Chesapeake Bay, California, and Hawaii)
and may be expanding in 2008 to three new regions: Northeast, Gulf of
Mexico, and the Pacific Northwest. Funded projects will involve meaningful
watershed educational experiences addressing regional priorities. Annual
project funding ranges from $50,000-$100,000. Proposals must be received by
5 p.m. on April 16, 2008.

See the Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) for details. The FFO is available
from http://www.grants.gov (Funding Opportunity Number
SEC-OED-2008-2001368).

***Please note that it is very important for potential applicants to
register with Grants.gov ASAP. The opportunity will only be open for 30
days, and it can take several weeks to complete the registration process
with Grants.gov***
