Funding Opportunity: Environmental Literacy for Community Resilience

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Gulf Research Program (GRP), along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Environmental Literacy Program, aims to enhance community resilience and increase the environmental literacy of community members across the U.S. Gulf Coast states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida) through place-based education. This funding opportunity will support projects that educate community members on local environmental challenges, engage learners in solutions-oriented activities, and empower participants to engage in them.
