Opportunity Summary:
The NHEC Minority Youth Training Institute 2012 (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00162) was a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support the National Hispanic Environmental Council's (NHEC) 11th Annual Minority Youth Environmental Training Institute. The institute was designed to promote environmental and conservation initiatives by increasing outreach, participation, and career awareness among youth from diverse and historically underrepresented communities. In practical terms, the project focus sits at the intersection of education, environmental stewardship, and workforce development, aiming to build knowledge, skills, and pathways into conservation-related fields.
This announcement was not a competitive grant solicitation and did not include an application process. Instead, it functioned as a formal Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to NHEC. The notice cites justification under 505 DM 2.14 B(1) and (4), indicating the agency's basis for proceeding with a non-competitive award rather than opening it to multiple applicants. As a result, while the Grants.gov posting resembles a typical funding opportunity, it was effectively informational and administrative, signaling that the award was intended specifically for NHEC.
The funding instrument was a grant, categorized under the funding activity areas of Education, Environment, and Natural Resources, and tied to CFDA number 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, described as generic training). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. Both the award ceiling and floor were listed as $50,000, meaning the intended award amount was fixed rather than presented as a range. No cost sharing or matching requirement was expected, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on May 11, 2012, with a creation date of May 25, 2012. The original closing date was May 25, 2012, and the current closing date was later listed as June 15, 2012, though both places emphasize that there was no application process. The archive date was July 15, 2012, after which the listing would be considered historical rather than active.
For additional details, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the official source and provided a point of contact for access issues: Tracy Mccleaf at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (304-876-7781, TracyMcCleaf@fws.gov).
