Opportunity Summary:
The Trainin Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS94100NFHAP) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The purpose of the award is to provide training assistance aimed at strengthening the skills of people who participate in public decision-making processes that affect water flow and related natural resource outcomes. In practical terms, the training is intended to help participants engage more effectively in collaborative or formal public processes so that resulting decisions are more "flow friendly," meaning they better consider and support ecological flow needs and fish and wildlife conservation objectives.
The opportunity is structured as a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000, which is also the maximum award ceiling. There is no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Community Development, reflecting the emphasis on building capacity among stakeholders and organizations involved in public resource decisions rather than funding construction or direct on-the-ground restoration work. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can reduce barriers for smaller organizations and may simplify budgeting and proposal preparation.
Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Although the training is meant to benefit a broad audience that can include agency staff, university representatives, non-governmental organizations, and industry participants, only qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations can apply as the lead applicant for this particular announcement. This setup suggests the Fish and Wildlife Service expected a nonprofit to design, organize, and deliver the training, potentially partnering with other entities (such as universities or agencies) to reach the intended trainees.
Key dates show this was a short-fuse announcement: it was posted May 10, 2011, with a closing date of May 17, 2011, and later archived June 16, 2011. Anyone needing the full announcement details was directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact was Richard Piland, Program Analyst, at 703-358-2252.
