Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00261
The Native Youth Community Adaptation Leadership Congress - Amendment (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00261) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action that modifies an award that is already in place rather than opening a new, competitive grant round. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to stay actively involved in the work being supported, especially around planning and implementation details. The activity area is listed under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.676), reflecting a focus tied to conservation and related community and youth engagement work.
The purpose of the amendment is straightforward: the Fish and Wildlife Service already has a cooperative agreement with the New Mexico Wildlife Federation to provide logistical support for the NYCALC event, and that support specifically includes helping participants make and secure travel arrangements. Since participation in the congress ended up being higher than originally projected, the existing budget and logistical capacity were no longer sufficient. This amendment increases (augments) the current agreement so the project can cover the added travel needs created by the larger-than-expected number of attendees, including both additional students and the chaperones accompanying them.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing shows an award ceiling of $400,000 and an expectation of one award, which aligns with the fact that this action is an amendment to a single existing cooperative agreement rather than a solicitation intended to fund multiple recipients. The eligibility field is broadly labeled as "Others," but the narrative makes clear that the amendment is tied to the current agreement with the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, so in practical terms this notice is about expanding funding for that specific partner arrangement to handle increased participation.
The amendment cites legal authority under the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended by the Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 742a-754j2), establishing the statutory basis for the Service to make and modify this type of agreement. Key dates in the source record include a creation date of June 15, 2017 and an original closing date of June 19, 2017, which is consistent with the short administrative window often associated with amendment notices and noncompetitive actions tied to existing awards.Apply for F17AS00261
