Opportunity Summary:

The 2011 PHMSA HMIT grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM HMI 11 001) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) within the U.S. Department of Transportation. It falls under the Transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. The program is designed to support training efforts connected to hazardous materials (hazmat) workforces, with the overall aim of improving safety and capability through targeted training initiatives.

Eligibility is narrowly focused. The HMIT Grants Program is open specifically to nonprofit hazardous materials employee organizations. In this context, an "employee organization" is defined as a labor union, association, group, or similar organization whose members are hazardous materials employees and whose stated purpose is to represent hazmat employees. To be competitive, applicants must be able to demonstrate two core qualifications: first, expertise in conducting a training program for hazmat employees, and second, the capability to reach a defined target population of hazmat employees. In practical terms, this means PHMSA is looking for organizations that already have credible training experience and a clear, realistic plan for delivering training to the workforce segment they intend to serve.

The opportunity offered an estimated total funding amount of $4,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall within a defined range, with an award floor of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $750,000. Importantly, the listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding instrument type is a grant, reflecting PHMSA's intent to financially support eligible organizations in carrying out training activities consistent with the program goals.

Key dates for the competition show it was posted on April 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 1, 2010. The opportunity was archived on July 1, 2010, indicating the application window has long since closed and the notice is maintained primarily for recordkeeping and reference. The listing also includes an "Additional Information Link" labeled "2011 PHMSA HMIT," suggesting that the full announcement and detailed requirements were made available through an external or attached document when the opportunity was active.

For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, PHMSA provided direct grant support contact information. The point of contact listed is Carrie Brown, reachable at 617-494-3318 or via email at carrie.brown@dot.gov. This contact was intended to assist with access issues and likely to help direct organizations to the proper materials needed to prepare and submit an application during the open period.
