Introduction Over the past eleven years, the Toyota TAPESTRY grant program,
sponsored by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and administered by the National Science
Teachers Association, has awarded 443 grants totaling nearly $4.5 million to teachers in the
United States and U.S. Territories. This year, 50 grants of up to $10,000 each and a
minimum of 20 "mini-grants" of $2,500 each are available to K-12 teachers of science. To
apply for funding, qualified teachers must write a Toyota TAPESTRY proposal and submit it
for receipt at NSTA by January 17, 2002.
Eligibility Open to K-12 teachers of science residing in the United States or U.S. territories
or possessions. All middle and high school science teachers and elementary teachers who
teach some science in the classroom are eligible. "Science teacher" is defined as anyone
who spends at least 50% of his/her classroom time teaching science or teaches a minimum
of two science classes per day. Elementary teachers who teach science in a self-contained
classroom setting or as teaching specialists are eligible.
Program Summary Proposals must describe a project including its potential impact on
students, and a budget up to $10,000 (up to $2,500 for mini-grants). Toyota TAPESTRY
grants will be awarded in three categories:
•	Environmental Science Education
•	Physical Science Applications

Oregon Sea Grant
Oregon Sea Grant Program Development Grants
In addition to the periodic two-year funding cycle, Oregon Sea Grant supports a range of
marine research, education, and outreach activities that enable us to respond to problems
and other situations in a timely fashion. In particular, we offer modest grant funds for project
opportunities or special needs that arise outside the regular program funding cycle.
Proposals may be submitted at any time. These funds are generally not intended to
supplement an existing project, but rather:
•	to start up promising new lines of inquiry;
•	to provide seed money for exploratory efforts in an Oregon Sea Grant priority
topic;
•	to develop multidisciplinary or regional efforts;
•	to respond to urgent needs or unforeseen opportunities that require a timely
response;
•	to support special student initiatives related to an ongoing Sea Grant project
•	to allow orderly or timely completion of project that also supports student
degree effort
Normally program development grants are modest in size (less than $10,000) and in time
frame (less than one year), but in exceptional cases larger efforts can be considered. This
outline is primarily intended for the Program Development proposal requesting $10,000 or
less (including indirect). Such proposals are sometimes sent out for external peer review,
but that is not required by the National Office of Sea Grant. On the other hand, proposals
requesting more than $10,000 require peer reviewing (which adds about six weeks to the
review period), and the award decision must be approved by the National Sea Grant Office.
Such proposals must follow a format that is suitable for peer review. Please contact the
Oregon Sea Grant office for more information if your proposed request will exceed $10,000.

Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team
Title:	Public Involvement & Education (PIE) Funding
Description:	You have a plan to help protect water quality in your community. You need money to put
your plan in action.
What you need Is a slice of PIE.
The Public Involvement and Education Fund (PIE) program is one of the most powerful tools
available for protecting and improving Puget Sound's water quality and marine resources.
PIE dollars help communities, businesses, non-profits, and local and tribal governments to:
•	create solutions to local pollution problems;
•	protect, preserve and restore habitat;
•	motivate people to be environmental stewards; and
•	partner with others for lasting results.
The PIE Fund is not a grant program. Rather, through personal services contracts, the
Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team obtains the services of individuals and
organizations to educate and involve residents of Puget Sound as they carry out the
2001-2003 Puget Sound Water Quality Work Plan. Services provided under contract are
compensated on a reimbursement basis. The Action Team staff provides guidance on
fulfilling a state contract, as well as technical information and advice related to the project.
Next Funding Opportunity: Request for Proposals (RFP) are issued every two years. The
next RFP is expected in the July, 2003, provided funding is available.
