i.e., Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving
institutions, Tribal colleges and universities, Alaskan Native and
Native Hawaiian institutions, and institutions that work in underserved
communities. Applications are encouraged that involve any of the above
types of institutions. An individual may serve as Principal
Investigator (PI) on only one application through this funding
opportunity. However, individuals may serve as co-PIs or key personnel
on more than one application.

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_
