Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 PHMSA HMIT (Hazardous Materials Instructor Training) grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number HM HMI 12 001, was a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under the U.S. Department of Transportation. It was categorized under the Transportation funding activity area and tied to CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. The program was designed to strengthen hazardous materials training capacity by supporting organizations that represent hazmat employees and can deliver effective training to that workforce.
Eligibility was limited to non-profit hazardous materials employee organizations. For this program, an "employee organization" was defined broadly to include a labor union, association, group, or similar organization whose members are hazardous materials employees and whose stated purpose is to represent those employees. To be competitive, applicants needed to demonstrate two core capabilities: first, proven expertise in conducting training programs for hazmat employees, and second, the ability to reach a defined target population of hazmat employees. In other words, PHMSA was looking for established worker-representative organizations that could show both training competence and real-world access to the people the training is meant to serve.
The opportunity anticipated making approximately four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $250,000 (award floor) and $1,000,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which meant recipients were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
The funding notice was posted on March 31, 2011, with a closing date of June 1, 2011, and an archive date of July 1, 2011. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to contact PHMSA grant support, specifically Carrie Brown Winslow (617-494-3318, Carrie.Winslow@dot.gov).
