Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training)" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00121) is a discretionary cooperative agreement published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It was posted and created on March 2, 2016, and falls under the activity areas of education, environment, and natural resources, with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.649. The maximum funding amount listed for the award is up to $55,000.
This notice is not a standard competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as "for notification purposes only," meaning the agency is not inviting applications from the general public and there is no real application window or closing date in the usual sense. Instead, DOI-FWS states its intent to issue a single-source financial assistance award to a specific recipient: the Western Maryland Resource and Conservation and Development Council. The period of performance is described as approximately 1.5 years.
The purpose of the funding is to support services connected to Patuxent Research Refuge, specifically environmental education, interpretation, and biological services. The work is expected to include both on-site and off-site programming, which typically means activities that occur at the refuge itself as well as outreach or educational efforts conducted in surrounding communities, schools, or partner locations. In addition to supporting Patuxent Research Refuge programming, the award is also intended to support the Urban Wildlife Refuge Program, which generally focuses on connecting urban communities with nearby wildlife refuges through engagement, education, and improved access to nature-based learning opportunities.
Eligibility information is included in the listing, noting eligible applicants as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). However, because this is a single-source notification rather than an open competition, the eligibility category is largely informational and does not indicate that other organizations can apply under this announcement. The posting also lists "Expected Awards: 0," which aligns with the notice-only nature of the announcement and the intent to directly fund the named organization rather than make multiple awards through a competitive process.
