Opportunity Summary:
The Service Training and Technical Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00315) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support education- and environment-focused activities that help conserve the nation's natural resources. The core purpose of the program is to strengthen public conservation awareness by providing financial support for training and capacity-building events such as meetings, workshops, and conferences. In practical terms, this funding is aimed at efforts that bring people together to learn, share best practices, and improve skills or knowledge related to conservation, natural resource stewardship, and related public education outcomes.
This opportunity is structured as a grant (not a contract) and is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.649, identified as "Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training)." The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants are not obligated to contribute non-federal dollars as a condition of receiving an award. The announcement indicates the agency expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. Individual award sizes could range from a minimum (award floor) of $1,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $30,000, suggesting the project scope could vary from small targeted training efforts to a larger single event or series of activities, as long as it fits within the overall conservation-awareness mission.
Eligibility is limited to private institutions of higher education. This means the primary intended applicants are private colleges and universities (or associated entities that meet the formal definition), positioning the program to leverage academic expertise, educational infrastructure, and convening power to deliver conservation-related training and outreach. The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2012, with a very short application window: the original and current closing date is July 17, 2012. The archive date is July 31, 2012, indicating it is no longer open and is retained for recordkeeping and reference.
Applicants seeking the full announcement and submission details were directed to Grants.gov (www.grants.gov). For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Connie Sauer at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 503-872-2826 or by email at conniesauer@fws.gov.
