Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a planned, non-competitive grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to the Nez Perce Tribe under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 DM 2.14(4). It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning the agency is announcing its intention to fund a specific recipient rather than running an open competition. The announcement repeatedly emphasizes that no competition is expected and that other parties should not apply.
The main purpose of the grant is to advance the Secretary of the Interior's "Youth and the Great Outdoors" initiative, with a specific focus on creating and expanding paid employment opportunities for Tribal youth in natural resources management. In practical terms, the project is intended to support hiring and work-based learning experiences for Nez Perce Tribal youth, giving them hands-on exposure to fisheries conservation and fisheries management work within the Columbia River Basin. The overall goal is workforce development: helping young people build skills, experience, and career pathways connected to stewardship of fish and aquatic resources.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant with activity areas tied to both employment/training and natural resources. The associated CFDA number is 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which aligns with technical and programmatic support for conservation and management activities. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed. The agency anticipates making exactly one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. Both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $50,000, indicating the grant amount is effectively predetermined rather than variable or negotiable within a range.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but this notice is functionally recipient-specific: the intended recipient is the Nez Perce Tribe. The posting date is June 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on August 21, 2011. Even though a closing date is listed, the text makes clear the announcement is not seeking applications from the public; it serves more as formal documentation of the planned award.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Paul Heimowitz, Project Manager, reachable at (503) 736-4722.
