Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK320NF0008
The Instructor Training Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 693JK320NF0008) is a federal grant program administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). It falls under the transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.703. The opportunity is labeled under the broader "Other" opportunity category and uses a standard grant as the funding instrument.
The program is titled "Instructor Training Grants," which indicates its primary focus is supporting training efforts aimed at improving or expanding instructor capability in areas connected to PHMSA's mission space. PHMSA’s work centers on the safe transportation of hazardous materials and the safety of pipeline systems, so training funded under this type of program commonly aligns with safety, compliance, and technical instruction related to hazardous materials transportation and/or pipeline safety. The public description provided for this listing is brief and directs applicants to consult Section C of the official Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the detailed eligibility requirements, meaning eligibility is not fully defined in the short synopsis and must be verified in the NOFO itself.
In terms of key dates and award parameters, the opportunity record shows a creation date of February 4, 2020, with an original application closing date of March 19, 2020. The listed award ceiling is $1,000,000, which suggests that individual awards could be funded up to that maximum amount, depending on what the NOFO allows and the scope of the proposed project. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided record, which typically means the agency may make awards based on available funding, application quality, and program priorities rather than committing to a fixed count in the summary listing.
The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," which is a broad label and often signals that eligibility may include nontraditional or varied entity types (for example, certain nonprofit organizations, educational providers, professional associations, or other specialized entities). However, because the listing explicitly points to Section C of the NOFO for eligibility, the definitive list of who can apply and under what conditions is contained in that document and should be treated as the controlling source.Apply for 693JK320NF0008
