Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00087
The Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00087) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The main purpose is to identify a single partner organization that can take on key logistical and participant-support responsibilities for a weeklong youth leadership event, the Native Youth Community Adaptation and Leadership Congress (NYCALC). The congress is scheduled to take place July 9 through July 15, 2017, at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
At its core, this funding is focused on ensuring that approximately 70 Native American students and chaperones can attend the NYCALC safely and successfully. The selected partner is expected to manage transportation arrangements, medical safety planning and support, and the overall behavior and well-being needs of participants during the event. In practical terms, this points to an organization capable of coordinating travel logistics to and from the venue, putting appropriate health and safety protocols in place (including readiness for medical issues that may arise), and providing supervision or structured support systems that help maintain a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for youth and accompanying adults throughout the week.
The opportunity is categorized under education, environment, and natural resources, reflecting the broader context of conservation-related learning and youth engagement that typically surrounds events hosted at FWS facilities like NCTC. The program is listed under CFDA number 15.676, indicating it sits within an established federal assistance area tied to Fish and Wildlife Service educational and related program activities.
In terms of applicant eligibility, the announcement states eligibility is unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should still pay attention to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. The agency anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $280,000. The opportunity was created on December 23, 2016, and had an original application closing date of January 23, 2017, establishing a relatively short window for proposal submission.
Finally, the legal authority cited for making this award comes from the Powers and Duties of the Secretary of the Interior (16 USC 460, including section 460l-1(d) and (f)), which provides the statutory basis for the Department of the Interior to enter into arrangements like this to support public purposes aligned with departmental missions. Overall, the grant is essentially a targeted partnership solicitation: FWS is not primarily seeking curriculum developers or instructors here, but rather a capable organization that can reliably deliver youth event logistics and participant safety and support services so Native youth and their chaperones can fully participate in the congress.Apply for F17AS00087
