Opportunity Summary:
The Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities Endowment Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number A16AP00055) is a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) grant listed under CFDA 15.028 and categorized as an earmark in the education funding area. It was posted on April 28, 2016, with a closing date of May 28, 2016, and it reflects a single anticipated award.
This particular listing is not a competitive solicitation. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Award Only," meaning the agency is announcing its intent to make an award to a specific recipient rather than inviting applications from multiple organizations. In this case, BIA indicates it intends to award the grant to Northwest Indian College pursuant to Public Law 95-471, as amended (the Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities Assistance Act). The purpose of the funding is described as providing basic operational support for tribally controlled college and university (TCU) functions, including operation and maintenance of facilities, faculty support, and day-to-day operational TCU programs.
The opportunity identifies eligible applicants as federally recognized Native American tribal governments, aligning with the statutory framework for tribally controlled institutions and related federal support mechanisms. The published award ceiling is 12,112 (as stated in the source data), and the expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a targeted, pre-identified award rather than an open call. Overall, the notice functions primarily as a public record of the intended funding action to support core institutional operations at Northwest Indian College under the applicable federal law.
