Cooperative Agreement for Research and Program Assistance at DoD Installations Supported by the Kansas City District | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NWK 14 0001) was issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District, under the Department of the Army. It is a discretionary grant opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The overall purpose is to partner with qualified nonprofit educational institutions and universities to support research and program assistance activities tied to the management of Department of Defense (DoD) lands served by the Kansas City District.

At its core, the cooperative agreement is designed to help DoD installations make better, more defensible decisions about environmental stewardship, cultural resource compliance, and long-term land sustainability. The scope centers on collecting, analyzing, and applying environmental and cultural resource data, then using that information to carry out practical on-the-ground work. The announcement specifically points to land rehabilitation, environmental remediation support, and maintenance actions that help optimize the condition and management of military lands. In practical terms, that can include activities like field surveys and monitoring, data management and interpretation, support for cleanup or restoration planning, and implementation support for rehabilitation and maintenance efforts that keep training and operational lands functional while meeting environmental and historic preservation requirements.

The anticipated agreement length is broad and long-range, with a period of performance not to exceed five years. Rather than being a short, single-task award, this structure suggests an umbrella-type partnership that can accommodate multiple related projects or task areas over time as needs arise across the Kansas City Districts supported DoD installations. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it aligns with CFDA (now known as Assistance Listing) 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. That classification signals that the work is expected to include technical, scientific, and applied research components in addition to programmatic and field support.

Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding level of $15,000,000 across the life of the announcement, with an expectation of a single award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the listing, which typically indicates the public synopsis did not specify per-award bounds even though an overall estimated amount was provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants would not be required to contribute a mandatory match as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary leverage or in-kind contributions could still be viewed favorably depending on the full announcement details.

Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled colleges and universities as well as private institutions of higher education. The description also emphasizes nonprofit educational institutions/universities, pointing to an intent to partner with academic entities capable of bringing subject-matter expertise, research capacity, and field implementation support. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the selected institution would likely be expected to coordinate closely with USACE and installation stakeholders, integrate federal priorities into work planning, and deliver outputs that can be directly used for compliance, planning, and land management decisions.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on May 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2014. It was archived on July 13, 2014, meaning it is no longer open for application, but it remains a useful reference point for understanding the kinds of long-term, applied research and land-management partnerships USACE districts may pursue with universities in support of DoD installations.

For applicants or interested parties who needed access to the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Chris Halterman, Grants Officer, at (816) 389-3278, associated with the USACE Kansas City District.
