Opportunity Summary:
The Coastal Impacts Associated with Climate Change grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0275) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (DOI-USGS). It was offered as a non-competitive cooperative agreement, meaning the agency intended to make an award without a standard open competition among multiple applicants. In practice, this type of announcement is typically used when the agency has a specific partner, project, or programmatic need in mind and expects to work closely with the recipient during the project period.
The funding instrument was a Cooperative Agreement rather than a traditional grant. That distinction matters because a cooperative agreement generally involves substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the work, such as collaboration on technical approaches, data collection or analysis, coordination with other federal efforts, or shared project management responsibilities. The subject matter, as indicated by the title, focused on coastal impacts associated with climate change, which commonly includes issues like sea-level rise, coastal flooding and storm impacts, shoreline change and erosion, saltwater intrusion, habitat and wetland migration, and related risks to coastal communities and infrastructure. The funding activity category was listed as "Other" (with further clarification referenced in the original posting), which often signals that the work does not fit neatly into standard categories and may span research, monitoring, modeling, decision support, and applied science.
The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.808 (a catalog identifier used at the time to classify federal assistance programs). Eligibility was listed as "Others," with additional details referenced in the full announcement. That phrasing usually indicates eligibility is limited or specialized, potentially restricted to a particular institution, organization type, or an identified partner rather than broad eligibility for all applicants.
Key logistics and funding details were straightforward. The opportunity was posted on June 16, 2016, created the same day, and had a closing date of June 30, 2016. The award ceiling was $300,000, and the agency expected to make one award. Taken together, those details suggest a single, targeted project with a defined budget cap and a short posting window, consistent with a non-competitive cooperative agreement intended to formalize support for a specific set of climate-related coastal impact activities under USGS leadership and collaboration.
