GAP ANALYSIS PROGRAM PAD US STATE GRANTS | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Gap Analysis Program (GAP) announced a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00045) to support state-focused projects carried out in partnership with USGS GAP. The awards are issued as cooperative agreements, which generally means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The work falls under the broad category of science and technology research and development, and proposals must align with GAPs mission as well as the specific objectives and annual priorities laid out in the full announcement and any addenda.

In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at advancing GAP-related data and analysis efforts that help identify and address "gaps" in biodiversity conservation, land management information, and related decision-support needs. GAP has a long track record of building partnerships nationwide (nearly two decades at the time of the notice), and this solicitation continues that model by funding projects that complement and extend GAP products and priorities while being implemented by qualified partners at the state or local level (or other eligible recipients).

Funding for this competition was relatively limited. The estimated total amount available was $80,000, with an expectation of about four awards. The announcement did not specify a formal award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically signals that budgets are expected to be justified based on the scope of work rather than constrained by a fixed per-award range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although partnerships and in-kind contributions can still be relevant depending on the projects design and the cooperative nature of the agreement.

Eligibility was restricted geographically to applicants able to conduct GAP-consistent projects in the specific states named in the notice: Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, and North Dakota. While the eligibility category is listed broadly as "others," the key requirement is that the applicant (an individual or an agency/organization) has the capability to carry out work consistent with GAP goals and objectives and is associated with one of the listed states for inclusion under this announcement.

The program cites several legal authorities that underpin its work and partnership funding, including the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 USC 661), the Land and Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992 (15 USC 5657a(2)), and the Organic Act of the U.S. Geological Survey (43 USC 36c). Applicants were expected to ensure their proposed activities fit within these authorities and match the announced program priorities, since alignment with statutory authority and program goals is a baseline requirement for federal financial assistance.

Key administrative details include a posted date of May 20, 2013, with the closing date ultimately set to July 5, 2013 (after an original closing date of June 7, 2013). The opportunity was later archived on August 20, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.811 (Gap Analysis Program). The announcement directs applicants to Grants.gov for the full solicitation package and instructions. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
