2018 MTAC Grant

Special funding has been made available through a partnership between the Department of Defense, Office of Family Policy, Children & Youth and USDA/NIFA for Adventure Camp opportunities designed for military youth, ages 14-18 of Active Duty, Guard, Reserve and Retired personnel at regional locations around the U.S. and its territories. The camp experiences will be research based with an evaluation component, and will include coordination of all registration and logistics, including travel for the youth registered to attend. Camping experiences must be offered at minimal charge and made available to all military youth regardless of where they live. We have $670K available and anticipate allocating that funding across 3 awards. Camps should be scheduled between the time period of June 1, 2017 and August 30, 2017. Due to overhead charged against each award, we will not be able to consider proposals that do not include multiple camp opportunities. Our desire via this funding opportunity and proposal review process is to provide a variety of camp experiences in a variety of locations across the nation. Indirect costs are an allowable expense and should be budgeted in accordance with the applicant institution’s federally negotiated indirect cost rate. If indirect costs are budgeted, we require a copy of your current indirect cost rate agreement. During the review process, we may contact individual PIs to make proposal adjustments which may require resubmission of proposal documents.
