Opportunity Summary:
The SD Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00203) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to be actively involved in carrying out the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The program is tied to CFDA 15.674 and is categorized under "Other" funding activity, reflecting that the work is specialized and centered on prescribed fire training rather than a standard research or construction program.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support collaborative training events focused on prescribed fire, also described as controlled burns. Under the agreement, the USFWS and the selected recipient would work together to plan and deliver training sessions during the spring seasons of 2016 and 2017. These events are intended to be hosted at USFWS stations located within the Great Plains Zone, and the practical, field-based component of the training would include conducting controlled burns across multiple agency lands. In other words, the project is not just classroom instruction; it is hands-on operational training carried out in real-world conditions, coordinated across participating agencies and land management units.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates making a single award, with a maximum (award ceiling) of $25,000. That funding level suggests a focused, small-scale project aimed at covering coordination, training delivery, and operational support costs associated with prescribed fire training events, rather than funding a large multi-year program. The application window was short: the opportunity was posted on May 3, 2016, created the same day, and closed on May 10, 2016, indicating a time-sensitive solicitation likely aligned with upcoming seasonal burn and training schedules.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced but not included in the provided text. In practice, that label often signals that the agency is open to proposals from non-federal partners that can credibly support interagency training and prescribed burn operations, such as nonprofit organizations, conservation groups, tribal entities, academic partners, or other qualified organizations with relevant fire management capacity. The essential expectation, based on the description, is that the recipient can effectively collaborate with USFWS to deliver prescribed fire training and support the safe implementation of controlled burns across different agency-managed properties within the Great Plains region.
