Opportunity Summary:
The Maintenance Assistance Program (MAP 2016) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) focused on strengthening how infrastructure is maintained across the seven U.S. insular areas. The central purpose of the program is practical and long-term: MAP funds are intended to support the creation, development, and improvement of infrastructure maintenance practices, and, to the greatest extent possible, to help those practices become institutionalized. In other words, the program is not just about completing one-time fixes, but about building consistent systems, routines, and organizational capacity so that maintenance becomes a normal, sustained part of how infrastructure is managed over time.
This opportunity is offered as a grant under CFDA 15.875, and it is categorized under “Other” for funding activity, indicating the work is not limited to a single standard sector label and may involve cross-cutting maintenance and management activities depending on local infrastructure needs. Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,” with additional eligibility details referenced outside the summary fields, which suggests the program may be aimed at specific types of entities operating in or serving the insular areas (for example, territorial or local government offices, public authorities, or other organizations involved in infrastructure management), subject to the full eligibility language in the official announcement.
Funding levels are modest but designed to support multiple recipients. The award ceiling is $100,000 per award, and the program anticipated making about 10 awards. Key dates for the MAP 2016 cycle include a posted date and creation date of October 22, 2015, with an application deadline of March 1, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match, indicating no deadline extension was recorded in the provided data). Overall, MAP is best understood as capacity- and practice-building support: it helps insular communities improve the way they plan, perform, and sustain infrastructure maintenance, with an emphasis on establishing durable maintenance programs rather than relying on ad hoc repairs.
