Opportunity Information: Apply for HM HMI 18 001
The Hazardous Materials Instructor Training Grants (HMIT) opportunity for FY 2018 is a competitive discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The program is designed to support training efforts that improve the quality and reach of instruction provided to hazardous materials (hazmat) employees, with the broader goal of strengthening safety across the hazardous materials transportation system. The emphasis is on ensuring hazmat employees receive effective training that helps prevent incidents and accidents and supports safe handling and transport practices.
Funding under this opportunity is specifically intended for eligible nonprofit organizations that can demonstrate two core capabilities: real expertise in conducting training programs for hazmat employees and the practical ability to reach, involve, and engage those workers. In other words, PHMSA is looking for applicants that not only understand hazardous materials training content and instructional methods, but also have credible access to the audiences who need the training and a track record of delivering programs that those employees can actually participate in.
The opportunity highlights why these training programs matter by pointing to three main outcomes. First, hazmat employees should receive both initial and continuing training that addresses the risks involved in transporting hazardous materials. Second, training should ensure compliance with the relevant training requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). Third, employees should come away equipped to protect their own safety and the safety of others, which includes coworkers and the public. PHMSA frames strong training as a risk-reduction tool, noting that well-planned and properly maintained training programs can reduce the likelihood of hazmat incidents and accidents and are fundamental to transporting hazardous materials safely.
From an administrative standpoint, this grant was posted under Funding Opportunity Number HM HMI 18 001 and is associated with the Transportation funding activity category and CFDA number 20.703. The solicitation was created on May 31, 2018, with an original application closing date of July 2, 2018. PHMSA anticipated making around 10 awards under this announcement, and the listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $1,000,000. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning applications are evaluated competitively rather than funded by formula.
Overall, the FY 2018 HMIT grant opportunity is best understood as PHMSA's effort to invest in organizations that can strengthen the instructor-led training ecosystem for hazmat employees, align training delivery with federal regulatory expectations, and measurably improve day-to-day safety outcomes in the hazardous materials transportation workforce.Apply for HM HMI 18 001
