| Description: | The NOAA Office of Education (OEd) is issuing a request for applications for projects designed to build capacity within NOAA’s Science On a Sphere (SOS) Users Collaborative Network (Network) to enhance the educational use of spherical display systems as public exhibits. There are two goals for this program: (1) To improve the understanding of how spherical display systems can be used to enhance informal science education learning, and (2) to build environmental literacy among the general public through increased use of ocean, coastal, Great Lakes, weather, and climate data in informal education institutions. This FFO meets NOAA’s Mission Goal to provide Critical Support for NOAA’s Mission. It is required that the Principal Investigator (PI) for any application submitted to this opportunity be affiliated with a Network member institution. Members of the Network are those institutions that have received funding from NOAA related to spherical display systems or have purchased NOAA’s SOS system to display in a public education setting. More information on the Network and an up-to-date list of members is available at: http:// www.oesd.noaa.gov/network. It is anticipated that recommendations for funding under this announcement will be made by May 29, 2009, and that projects funded under this announcement will have a start date no earlier than August 1, 2009. Note: An MS Word-formatted version of this announcement is available at http://www.oesd.noaa.gov/funding_ opps.html. |
