Funded by the NOAA Educational Partnership Program with Minority-Serving Institutions
Cooperative Agreement Award #NA16SEC4810009
The NOAA CCME mission is to educate and train a new generation of scientists, particularly from underrepresented minority communities, in NOAA-relevant STEM disciplines and social sciences, equipped to utilize interdisciplinary approaches to address issues confronting marine and coastal communities.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Environmental Cooperative Science Center (ECSC) has served NOAA and the nation for fifteen years, stemming from a series of competitively awarded cooperative agreements in 2001, 2006 and 2011. In the latest FY2016 award a new Cooperative Science Center has been established under the leadership of Florida A&M University.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Center for Coastal and Marine Ecosystems (CCME) was established in 2016 as one of the NOAA Educational Partnership Program with Minority-Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI) Cooperative Science Centers. The Center was formed to address issues confronting marine and coastal communities.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Center for Coastal and Marine Ecosystems (CCME) was established in 2016 as part of the NOAA Educational Partnership Program with Minority-Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI).
