Opportunity Summary:
The Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00213) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is designed to support conservation efforts by funding activities that build knowledge and skills through organized learning and information-sharing events. The central purpose is to assist in conserving the nation's natural resources by providing financial support for training, meetings, workshops, and conferences that increase public awareness of conservation issues and encourage better stewardship of natural resources.
This funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to be actively involved in the funded project rather than simply issuing a pass-through award. Projects supported under this opportunity would typically focus on planning and delivering educational or technical sessions, convening stakeholders, developing training content, and hosting events aimed at strengthening conservation understanding and practices. The activity area is classified under Environment and Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.649.
The award structure for this particular announcement is small and targeted. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $58,000, and only one award was expected, indicating a single-project selection rather than a broad multi-recipient competition. The opportunity was created and posted on May 10, 2016, and it had a closing date of May 24, 2016, reflecting a relatively short application window. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with the expectation that applicants would need to review the additional eligibility information referenced in the full announcement to confirm whether their organization type or status qualifies.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at strengthening conservation outcomes indirectly by investing in education, training, and convening activities that improve public conservation awareness and capacity. Rather than funding on-the-ground construction or restoration work, it supports the people-and-knowledge side of conservation by enabling events and training that can influence how communities, organizations, and stakeholders understand and act on natural resource conservation priorities.
