Opportunity Summary:

The "NCAI Tribal Interior Budget Council" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number A16AC00010) is not a competitive grant solicitation and not an open request for proposals. It is posted as a Notice of Award indicating that the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (DOI-BIA) has already made an award through a cooperative agreement. The purpose of the award is to support the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) in gathering Tribal input for the BIA's budget formulation process by organizing and conducting Tribal Interior Budget Council meetings in multiple locations across the United States. In practice, this type of work typically involves convening sessions where Tribal leaders and representatives can share priorities, funding needs, and policy considerations that inform the agency's upcoming budget requests.

The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the agency expects to be actively involved in the project in some capacity (for example, coordination, guidance, or collaboration) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and activity category, with the substantive clarification provided in the description: facilitating a structured process for collecting and communicating Tribal perspectives on BIA budget development. The CFDA listing associated with the award is 15.067.

Key administrative details reflect that the award was already finalized around the time of posting. The posting date and creation date are both February 23, 2016, and the original and current closing dates are both February 24, 2016, reinforcing that this was not intended for applicants to compete for funding. The anticipated number of awards is listed as one, and the award ceiling is $220,000, consistent with a single, specific agreement issued to a designated recipient. While the eligibility field mentions "Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments)," the narrative makes clear that the recipient is NCAI and that no additional applications were being sought.
