Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00118) was posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement. It falls under the activity categories of education and environment and is associated with CFDA number 15.676. The notice was created and posted on February 29, 2016, with both the original and current closing date listed as March 11, 2016.
The purpose of the award is very specific: the Fish and Wildlife Service planned to make a single-source (non-competitive) cooperative agreement to the Close Up Foundation. The work to be supported centers on providing travel assistance along with civic education programming for more than 100 tribal students and their chaperones who would be participating in the 2016 Inter Tribal Youth Climate Leaders Congress. In practical terms, the funding was intended to help ensure tribal youth could attend and take part in a structured program that combines civic learning with leadership development focused on climate and related environmental issues.
Because this was announced as a single-source award, the agency signaled it did not intend to hold an open competition for other applicants. The eligibility field is listed broadly as "Others," with a note indicating additional eligibility clarification would appear elsewhere in the full announcement, but the description makes clear the intended recipient was the Close Up Foundation. The stated legal authority for offering this assistance is the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956.
Financially, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $227,350. The "Expected Awards" field is shown as 0, which can occur in postings that function more like a notice of intent to award rather than a traditional competitive solicitation; regardless, the narrative indicates the agency expected to proceed with a single cooperative agreement to support the described youth travel and civic education activities connected to the 2016 Congress.
