Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Collaborative Research in Verification of SRH2D Sediment Transport Model using Field Data" (Funding Opportunity Number R12AC80424) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office notice describing the governments intent to continue an existing cooperative agreement, not an open call for new proposals. In practical terms, it functions as a public notification that the agency plans to make or extend a single-source award under an already-established partnership, rather than soliciting competing applications from the broader research community.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the technical direction, coordination, or oversight of the work compared with a standard grant. The activity falls under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 15.560, tied to SECURE Water Act research agreements. The topic focuses on collaborative research to verify the SRH-2D sediment transport model using field data. That generally means comparing model predictions against real-world measurements to evaluate how well the model reproduces observed sediment movement and related hydraulic behavior, and then using those comparisons to improve confidence in model performance, identify limitations, and potentially refine model settings, parameters, or workflows.
Funding is limited and tightly defined: the estimated total funding is $30,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $30,000, and the agency expects to make one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Although the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" category of "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility language clarifies that this is not a request for applications. The presence of posted and closing dates reflects administrative recordkeeping for the notice rather than a competitive application window; the original posting date is August 7, 2012, with subsequent record dates including a creation date of April 10, 2013, a current closing date of April 24, 2013, and an archive date of April 25, 2013.
Anyone seeking the full announcement but experiencing access issues is directed to contact the listed point of contact, Michelle Maher, via email. Overall, the key takeaway is that the Bureau of Reclamation is publicly documenting its intention to proceed with a continuation of an existing, single-source cooperative agreement supporting field-data-based verification work for the SRH-2D sediment transport model, with a fixed $30,000 budget and no open competition for new applicants.
