About This Workshop
Join the NOAA Sea Grant Program, NOAA Office for Coastal Management, and their educational partners to gain hands on experience drafting and creating a competitive application package. Workshop participants will learn about the application process for several opportunities, and have the opportunity to practice key skills including, reviewing the description to pick out key details, putting together a competitive application package, asking for letters of reference, and communicating with program staff. We will use several NOAA fellowship programs as models to allow students compare and contrast differing opportunities.
