Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Pacific Northwest Region) issued this notice to publicly document its intent to fund a specific project called "Building an Integrated Data Harvester and Analysis Software for the Methow Basin." Importantly, the announcement is not a call for proposals and not a competitive solicitation. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that Reclamation plans to make a single award without full and open competition through a cooperative agreement with the University of Idaho.
The planned project focuses on developing an integrated software system that can pull (or "harvest") data from existing data repositories and servers, organize it, and accelerate the path from raw datasets to usable outputs like summaries, analyses, and ecological models. While the immediate emphasis is the Methow Basin, the design is intended to support future connections to broader Columbia River Basin (CRB) data management efforts. In practical terms, the goal is to reduce delays and friction in moving environmental and natural resource data from where it is stored into workflows that researchers and managers use for decision-making, reporting, and modeling.
Reclamation identifies the University of Idaho as the intended partner because of its relevant expertise and because it is an established partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PNW CESU). The PNW CESU is described as a consortium (a cooperative venture) involving 17 academic institutions in the Pacific Northwest, structured to facilitate collaborative projects between federal agencies and universities. This cooperative agreement would be executed under the CESU framework and its associated terms and conditions, which is often used to support joint research, technical development, and applied science projects tied to resource management.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary environmental and natural resources grant, with one expected award and an estimated total funding amount (and award ceiling) of $498,802. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA number 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). Eligibility is listed broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because this is a sole-intent notice rather than an open competition, the practical outcome is that Reclamation intends to fund only the University of Idaho for this specific scope of work.
Administrative details indicate the notice was posted and created on August 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2011, and an archive date of August 18, 2011. For access issues or questions about the announcement documentation, the listed contact is Lisa Strong, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation (phone 208-383-2204, email lstrong@usbr.gov).
