Opportunity Summary:
The 2015 PHMSA HMIT Grant (Funding Opportunity Number HM HMI 15 001) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under the U.S. Department of Transportation. It supported training efforts tied to hazardous materials (hazmat) employee safety and compliance, falling under the transportation funding activity category and the CFDA listing 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. The program focused on strengthening the capability of the hazmat workforce through organized training programs delivered by qualified nonprofit organizations.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that could clearly demonstrate two things: first, proven expertise in conducting training programs for hazmat employees; and second, the practical ability to reach, involve, and train a defined target population of hazmat employees. The announcement also spelled out what qualifies as a nonprofit by referencing 2 CFR 200.70, emphasizing that eligible organizations must operate primarily for scientific, educational, service, charitable, or similar public-interest purposes; must not be organized primarily for profit; and must reinvest any net proceeds back into maintaining, improving, or expanding the organization rather than distributing profits.
From a funding standpoint, PHMSA expected to make about six awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $4,000,000. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $200,000 up to a ceiling of $1,000,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which meant applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal dollars as a condition of receiving an award. This structure made the grant particularly relevant to nonprofits capable of delivering substantial training impact without needing to secure additional match funding.
The notice was posted on October 24, 2014, and the application deadline was December 19, 2014 (with no changes between the original and current closing dates). The opportunity was later archived on January 18, 2015. Applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center for technical support, available 24/7 except on federal holidays, via Support@grants.gov or by phone at 1-800-518-4726.
