Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 PHMSA HMIT (Hazardous Materials Instructor Training) grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number HM HMI 13 001, is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under 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 main purpose of the program is to support high-quality training efforts for hazardous materials (hazmat) employees by funding qualified, non-profit employee organizations that can deliver effective training and reliably reach the workers who need it.
Eligibility is centered on a very specific type of applicant: non-profit hazardous materials employee organizations. In this context, an "employee organization" is defined broadly as a labor union, association, group, or similar organization whose members are hazmat employees and whose stated purpose is to represent those hazmat employees. To be considered competitive under this opportunity, applicants must demonstrate two core capabilities: first, genuine expertise in conducting a training program for hazmat employees; and second, a proven ability to reach a target population of hazmat employees. In practical terms, PHMSA is signaling that awards are intended for organizations with established training capacity and existing networks or access channels to the intended worker audience, rather than groups that are starting from scratch or cannot show credible reach.
The opportunity anticipated making approximately four awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $4,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $250,000 to a maximum (award ceiling) of $1,000,000, indicating that PHMSA was looking to fund a small number of sizable, meaningful training initiatives rather than many small projects. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can reduce barriers for eligible non-profit employee organizations.
Key dates for the announcement show that it was posted on March 14, 2012 (with a creation date of March 13, 2012). The original and current application closing date was May 1, 2012, with no change explanation noted, and the opportunity was archived on May 31, 2012. The short application window suggests applicants needed to be ready to move quickly, with clear program plans, documented organizational qualifications, and a well-defined approach to delivering training to a specific hazmat employee population.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, PHMSA provided direct grant support contact information: Carrie Brown Winslow, reachable at 617-494-3318 or via email at Carrie.Winslow@dot.gov. This indicates PHMSA offered a support channel for access issues and likely general procedural questions tied to the application package and submission requirements.
