Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Adaptation of Western US Agriculture to Climate Change Induced Water Scarcity" is a discretionary, cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Reclamation (Denver Office) under CFDA 15.560 (SECURE Water Act Research Agreements). It is structured as a continuation of a previously awarded, sole-source project, with the stated purpose of launching and completing the second phase of an ongoing research effort. The agency notes that the project is on schedule to meet the first-year, first-phase milestones, and this continuation funding is intended to carry the work forward rather than start a new competition.
The core objective of the second phase is to compile and synthesize existing studies that examine how climate change is affecting water resources and agricultural production across the western United States. In practical terms, this phase emphasizes a thorough literature and evidence synthesis: pulling together research findings on changing hydrology, water availability, drought patterns, and related impacts on farming and agricultural outputs in the region. The deliverable from this phase is meant to serve as a foundation for a larger, subsequent project that goes beyond synthesis into integrated analysis.
A key anticipated outcome is that the information collected during this phase, combined with additional data identified from existing datasets, will later be merged and analyzed to produce a quantitative assessment of how farmers are adapting to climate change driven water scarcity. That future direction suggests the continuation phase is focused on building the evidence base, organizing what is known, identifying usable datasets, and setting up a framework that will support more rigorous, data-driven measurement of adaptation behaviors and outcomes in western US agriculture.
Administratively, the opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $87,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling (with an award floor of $1). No cost sharing or matching is required. Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the research-oriented nature of the work and the continuation format. The posting date is listed as December 14, 2012, with a creation date of June 5, 2013; the original closing date was December 28, 2012, and the current closing date is June 19, 2013, with the archive date shown as June 20, 2013. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed grants officer contact is Michelle Maher at 303-445-2025.
