Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Employment Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number R15AC00006) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary funding notice that serves primarily as a public announcement of intent rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In plain terms, it is not asking organizations to apply. Instead, the Bureau of Reclamation published the notice to document that it plans to support certain project activities through a cooperative agreement without using full and open competition. The funding activity area is categorized under Employment, Labor and Training, and it is tied to CFDA 15.546, the Youth Conservation Program, which generally focuses on conservation-related work experiences and employment opportunities for young people.
The announcement anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000. The award level is fixed in this notice, with the award ceiling and award floor both listed as $750,000, meaning the intended award amount is effectively set at that figure rather than presented as a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient would be expected to contribute some portion of project costs or provide matching resources consistent with the final agreement terms. Because the opportunity is not open for standard competition, the usual question of broad applicant eligibility is largely moot; the eligibility field lists "Others" and points readers to additional eligibility clarification, but the key takeaway is that the agency is signaling a planned noncompetitive funding action rather than inviting proposals from the public.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on December 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 19, 2014, and it was archived on January 18, 2015. Those dates reflect the public notice window rather than a typical application period, since no applications were being requested. For further details, the notice references the Bureau of Reclamation website (http://www.usbr.gov). The point of contact listed for access issues or questions about the announcement is Shaun Wilken, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-445-3697.
