Opportunity Summary:
The Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00427) is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that uses a cooperative agreement to support education and capacity-building activities tied to conservation. The core purpose is to assist in conserving the nation's natural resources by providing financial support for training and related events such as meetings, workshops, and conferences. These supported activities are intended to increase public conservation awareness and strengthen the knowledge and skills of participants who contribute to conservation outcomes.
This opportunity is categorized under Education, Environment, and Natural Resources and is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.649. The posting and creation dates are both August 11, 2015, and the estimated total funding amount associated with this notice is $50,000. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as $0), which typically indicates that the specific award amount and structure are handled within the context of the underlying agreement rather than through an open competitive range of awards.
Eligibility, as stated, is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to provide a formal match of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, although cooperative agreements often involve substantial involvement by the federal agency in implementing or coordinating the work.
A key detail of this announcement is that it is not an open competition. The closing date fields explicitly state that it is a single-source amendment to an existing agreement and that the awardee has already been selected. In practical terms, that means the announcement functions more as an administrative update or continuation action for a pre-identified recipient rather than an invitation for new proposals. The archive date is September 11, 2015, reflecting that the notice is no longer active for general application purposes.
For additional reference, the announcement points to Grants.gov as the information source. The listed contact for access issues or questions is Devon Larson, Administrative Officer, reachable at 703-358-2052 or devonlarson@fws.gov.
