Opportunity Summary:
The Desalination Research Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09FC811506) is a federal funding action issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office, under CFDA 15.506 (Water Desalination Research and Development Program). It is presented as an earmark-funded cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources activity category. The notice was posted and created on August 11, 2009, with an archive date also listed as August 11, 2009, which signals that it is a time-specific notice tied to a particular appropriation rather than an ongoing competitive program cycle.
A key point is that this notice is not an open competition and not a request for proposals. The announcement repeatedly states that the proposed award is mandated by Congress through appropriation and explicitly instructs the public not to submit applications. In practical terms, this is a Notice of Intent meant to disclose that the government plans to make a specific award that has already been directed through the appropriations process, so there is no application window, no competitive review, and no standard closing date. The original and current closing date fields both reinforce this by repeating the warning that it is not a solicitation.
The funding level is fixed and straightforward: the estimated total funding is $2,000,000, with an award floor and award ceiling both set at $2,000,000, and the expected number of awards listed as one. That combination indicates a single, predetermined cooperative agreement at the full stated amount, rather than multiple smaller awards or a range of possible budgets. The opportunity also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is not broadly defined in the public-facing fields. The eligible applicants line is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the accompanying eligibility information mainly repeats that the award is congressionally mandated and that applications should not be submitted. This is consistent with earmark-driven actions, where the intended recipient is typically identified through the appropriations language rather than through an eligibility-based competition.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement details, the contact provided is Randale Jackson, Contract Specialist/Grants Officer, at (303) 445-2432. The description directs readers to consult the "NOTICE OF INTENT" section under the full announcement for the formal explanation of the proposed award and its context.
