Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Flood Frequency Variability on Seasonal to Multi Decadal Time Scales in the Western US and Implications for Infrastructure Planning" is a Bureau of Reclamation (Denver Office) funding notice describing the agency's intent to support a specific research effort related to floods in the western United States. The central theme is understanding how flood frequency changes over time, not just year to year, but across seasonal patterns and longer multi-decadal climate cycles, and then translating that understanding into better guidance for planning, designing, and managing water infrastructure. In practical terms, the project focus is on improving how engineers, water managers, and planners think about flood risk when that risk may shift as climate and hydrology vary over different time horizons.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a public notice of intent to fund project activities "without full and open competition," meaning the Bureau of Reclamation is not seeking applications from the general public through this announcement. Instead, it serves to document and disclose the agency's plan to make a single award through a non-competitive process. The expected number of awards is one, and the funding level is fixed: both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $163,035, indicating the agency anticipated one agreement at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. Cooperative agreements often include ongoing coordination, technical input, or shared project oversight between the recipient and the agency. The activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the work with water resources science, hydrology, climate variability, and infrastructure resilience. The program is linked to CFDA number 15.560, associated with the SECURE Water Act Research Agreements, which generally support research that strengthens water management under climate variability and change.
The timeline in the notice reflects standard federal posting and administrative dates rather than an open proposal window for new applicants. The opportunity was posted and created on February 27, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 13, 2013, and an archive date of April 12, 2013. Because it is not a request for applications, these dates function more as the period during which the notice is publicly available and active in the system before being archived, rather than a typical deadline for submitting proposals.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, but that is largely moot in the context of this particular announcement because it is not competitive and is not inviting submissions. The notice essentially communicates that Reclamation already has an intended project pathway and is documenting that intent publicly. There is also no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating the federal funds were expected to cover the project costs without requiring a non-federal funding contribution.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Shaun Wilken, a Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-445-3697. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a non-competitive, single-award cooperative agreement notice by the Bureau of Reclamation to support targeted research on how flood frequency varies from seasonal to multi-decadal scales in the western U.S., with the explicit purpose of improving infrastructure planning and decision-making under changing hydrologic conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the title of this funding opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "Flood Frequency Variability on Seasonal to Multi Decadal Time Scales in the Western US and Implications for Infrastructure Planning."
Which agency is behind this notice?
This is a Bureau of Reclamation notice, identified with the Denver Office.
What is the main purpose of the project described in the notice?
The purpose is to support a specific research effort focused on understanding how flood frequency in the western United States changes over time (from seasonal patterns to multi-decadal climate cycles) and to translate that understanding into improved guidance for planning, designing, and managing water infrastructure.
What is the central theme or problem the research is trying to address?
The central theme is that flood risk may shift over different time horizons due to climate and hydrologic variability, and infrastructure planning should account for changes that occur not only year to year but also seasonally and over multi-decadal time scales.
What geographic area does the research focus on?
The research focus is the western United States.
How does this project relate to infrastructure planning?
The notice emphasizes translating research on flood-frequency variability into better guidance for engineers, water managers, and planners so infrastructure planning and decision-making can better reflect changing hydrologic conditions.
