Fiscal Year 2022 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Education and Training Program/State Capacity Building

Chesapeake B-WET is a competitive grant program that supports existing, high-quality environmental education programs, fosters the growth of innovative programs, and encourages capacity building and partnership development for environmental literacy efforts throughout the entire Chesapeake Bay watershed. Successful projects advance the environmental literacy goal of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement and the NOAA Education Strategic Plan by building capacity to support hands-on environmental education for students and related professional development for teachers, administrators, and other educators who serve formal K-12 audiences.

Through this funding announcement, NOAA is soliciting proposals that support Statewide K-12 Environmental Literacy Initiatives. Note that a separate funding announcement through B-WET for Implementing MWEEs in School Districts and Supporting School District Capacity for Environmental Literacy is also available on grants.gov.
