Opportunity Summary:
The Mississippi Choctaw Gulf Coast Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number A16AP00088) is a discretionary grant award administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (DOI-BIA), under CFDA 87.052. It falls within the environment funding activity category and is tied to the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Oil Spill Impact Program, which supports restoration and recovery efforts connected to impacts from the Gulf oil spill.
This posting is strictly a notice of award and not an open solicitation, meaning it was not seeking applications from the public or from multiple competing applicants. Instead, DOI-BIA indicated its intent to issue a single grant directly to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, a federally recognized tribal government and the only eligible recipient for this specific award. The opportunity anticipated one award with an award ceiling of $100,000.
The purpose of the grant is workforce and capacity development focused on Mississippi Choctaw Tribal youth. The project is designed to enlist and train young tribal members for education and career pathways in environmental conservation, natural resource management, and closely related fields. In practical terms, this kind of initiative typically supports structured training experiences that can include conservation skills development, exposure to natural resource careers, and hands-on activities that strengthen tribal stewardship capacity while aligning with broader Gulf Coast restoration goals.
Key administrative dates listed in the notice include a creation and posting date of May 19, 2016, and a closing date of June 18, 2016. Because this is a notice of award only (rather than a competitive funding announcement), the closing date functions more as an administrative marker in the grants system than a deadline for proposal submission.
