About this program
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Department of Commerce administers the Independent Education and Science Projects and Programs fund (CFDA 11.449), which supports initiatives to increase minority enrollment in college math, science, and engineering programs, recruit scientists and engineers as tutors for underrepresented students and girls, and provide high school and college students hands-on research exposure in NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research during summer and vacation periods.
This program is dormant. The most recent grant award was disbursed in October 2003, over twenty years ago. The portfolio includes only two Project Grants totaling $323 thousand in federal dollars obligated across the entire funding history, awarded in 2001 and 2003. No recent grant opportunities are posted, and no awards have been disbursed in the past two decades. The program appears to have ceased active funding cycles after 2003.
The two historical awards funded program development and school scholarships ($107 thousand) and practical hands-on science education initiatives ($297,961). Both awards were 100% NOAA-funded Project Grants, each with a one-year to eighteen-month performance period. The combined federal and non-federal dollars obligated totaled $405 thousand, indicating recipients contributed modest cost-share funding to these projects.
Given the twenty-three-year hiatus since the last award and the absence of any posted solicitations in the recent-opportunities block, this program should not be treated as an active funding vehicle. Organizations focused on science education, STEM pipeline development, or minority recruitment in STEM fields would be better served evaluating active NOAA education funding lines or other federal science-education programs with current grant cycles.
Objective and description
