Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Water Conservation Field Services Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 16 0002) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR), specifically through Reclamation's Great Plains Regional Office and the Eastern Colorado Area Office. Its purpose is to fund on-the-ground activities that support Reclamation's Water Conservation Field Services Program during the federal fiscal year 2016 period, covering October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. In practical terms, the program is aimed at advancing water conservation work tied to natural resource management, consistent with Reclamation's broader mission of improving water use efficiency and helping water users and partners manage supplies more effectively.
This opportunity is classified under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.530, which corresponds to Reclamation's Water Conservation Field Services Program. Awards are made as grants, and the announcement indicates an expected total of two awards. The maximum funding amount per award (the award ceiling) is listed as $70,000, meaning proposals should be structured with that cap in mind. Because the anticipated number of awards is small, applicants should assume the competition could be selective and that proposals will likely need to show clear, measurable conservation outcomes and strong alignment with the program's goals in order to rank well.
Eligibility is labeled as "Others," with additional details referenced as being provided in the notice's eligibility clarification text (not included in the excerpt provided here). That typically signals that eligibility may extend beyond a single standard category and could include certain non-federal entities or other partner types allowed under the program rules, but the exact eligible applicant types would need to be confirmed in the full grant notice language. The administering agency is DOI-BOR, and the opportunity is presented as a time-limited funding request for FY 2016 activities.
The key dates provided show that the notice was created and posted on December 30, 2015, and the application deadline was March 1, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match, indicating no deadline extension was recorded in the data shown). Applicants would have had roughly two months from posting to prepare and submit proposals. Overall, this is a relatively small, targeted Reclamation funding opportunity intended to support specific water conservation field services work within the Great Plains Region's Eastern Colorado Area Office scope, using modest grant awards to produce tangible conservation benefits within the FY 2016 performance window.
