Opportunity Summary:

The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians Gulf Coast Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number A16AP00087) is a Bureau of Indian Affairs (DOI-BIA) discretionary grant listed under the Environment funding activity category and CFDA 87.052. The posting is labeled as a "NOTICE OF AWARD ONLY," which means it is not an open competition and not a request for applications.

The project is tied to the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Oil Spill Impact Program, indicating that the activities are aligned with restoration and resilience efforts connected to addressing environmental impacts associated with the Gulf oil spill and broader ecosystem recovery priorities. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at building local capacity through hands-on training while producing on-the-ground restoration benefits, especially in wetland environments that are critical for habitat, water quality, and storm and flood buffering.

The award information included in the notice indicates an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $100,000. Key administrative dates show the opportunity was created and posted on May 19, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2016.
