Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Engaging Under-Served Students on USFWS Refuges" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00282) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency is expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The work falls under education, environment, science and technology, and other research and development activity areas, and it is listed under CFDA 15.676.
This notice is described as a modification intended to continue an existing effort, specifically a three-part program designed to engage underserved students at the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The program focus is on bringing students and community members who may have limited access to outdoor education and conservation programming onto or into connection with the refuges. The target engagement channels named in the description include surrounding local schools, YMCA partners, and Phi Beta Sigma communities located near the refuges, indicating a community-based approach that relies on established youth and civic networks rather than only school-based outreach.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $52,077, suggesting a small, focused project continuation rather than a broad, multi-recipient competition. The posting and creation dates are both June 10, 2016, and the closing date is June 15, 2016, indicating a short application window consistent with a continuation/modification action or a narrowly targeted award process.
