Environmental Literacy Grants Program Back to Funding

request for applications for environmental literacy projects in
support of free-choice learning. Funded projects were between
one and five years in duration and were designed to create new,
or capitalize on existing, networks of institutions, agencies,
and/or organizations to provide common messages about key
concepts in Earth System Science. Proposed projects supported
NOAA's vision of an informed society that uses a comprehensive
understanding of the role of the ocean, coasts, and atmosphere
in the global ecosystem to make the best social and economic
decisions. The awards are summarized below. For more information
