Opportunity Summary:
The BSEE FY 2016 Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP), University of Alaska Anchorage grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number E16AS00002) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (DOI-BSEE). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means the agency expects to be actively involved in carrying out the work rather than simply providing funding with minimal oversight. The focus of the opportunity is environmental and conservation-related education and training activities designed to give young people hands-on learning experiences and help develop the next generation of long-term conservation stewards.
At its core, the announcement functions as the formal mechanism for ANSEP at the University of Alaska Anchorage to apply for Fiscal Year 2016 funding from BSEE. The description makes clear that the project is intended specifically for the identified university program, and that ANSEP (UAA) is the applicant expected to submit the proposal. While the eligibility list in the source data includes a broad range of entities (state and county governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and federally recognized tribal governments), the narrative language signals that this particular award is targeted to ANSEP at UAA. The announcement also encourages collaboration, especially cooperative efforts across university campuses, suggesting that partnerships within the University of Alaska system or between campuses could strengthen project implementation.
The grant is authorized under the PLCA, which the notice cites as the authority allowing BSEE to award cooperative agreements to qualified youth or conservation corps for appropriate conservation projects. In practical terms, that authority supports the idea that funded activities should be connected to conservation outcomes and youth engagement, and that the program should provide meaningful training and learning opportunities rather than purely academic or administrative work. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the relationship between BSEE and the recipient is described as a collaborative effort with substantial government involvement, implying BSEE may help shape the project, participate in planning, provide technical input, or coordinate on specific components during the period of performance.
Funding details in the opportunity indicate a maximum award (ceiling) of $50,000, with one expected award. The opportunity was created and posted on April 11, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) was May 11, 2016. The listed CFDA number is 15.442, and the activity category is Environment, reinforcing that the program sits within federal environmental and stewardship priorities. Overall, the opportunity is a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement meant to support ANSEP at the University of Alaska Anchorage in delivering youth-focused science, engineering, and conservation learning experiences in coordination with BSEE.
