Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment Programs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00415) is a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, focused on education and environmental outcomes. Rather than being a typical open competition, the Service states it intends to amend an existing single-source award and issue that amendment without competition to a specific organization: the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE). In practical terms, this means the agency is not seeking new applicants for this funding action; it is formally describing its plan to continue or adjust funding under an already-established relationship with NAAEE.
The central purpose of the amendment is to support work that identifies, compiles, and analyzes research showing the impacts of environmental education (EE). The goal is not just to gather studies, but to assess evidence demonstrating how EE contributes to a range of outcomes, and then translate those findings into information that is useful to key audiences. The audiences the announcement highlights include decision-makers and policy-makers, land and resource managers, and environmental education practitioners. The underlying intent is to strengthen the environmental education field by making the evidence base clearer and more accessible to the people who shape policy, manage public lands and resources, and deliver education programs.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a grant, with activity areas listed as Education and Environment, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.676. The posted award ceiling is $80,000. The announcement lists expected awards as 0, which aligns with the single-source, non-competitive nature of the action; it is not anticipating making new awards through a competitive selection process. The posting indicates a creation date of August 17, 2016, and an original closing date of August 23, 2016, reflecting a short public notice window typical of some non-competitive or administrative actions where an agency is documenting its intent to proceed with a specific recipient.
The legal authority cited for offering this opportunity is the Powers and Duties of the Secretary of the Interior, referenced as 16 USC 460, including section 460 l-1(d) and (f). This authority is used to justify the Service moving forward with the amendment to the existing grant arrangement. Eligibility is broadly labeled as “Others,†with a note to consult additional eligibility information, but the description makes clear the intended recipient for this particular action is NAAEE, since it is a single-source amendment without competition.
