Opportunity Summary:
The Great Plains Regional Office, Oklahoma Texas Area Office, Water Conservation Field Services Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00012) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It was released to support activities that advance the Bureau of Reclamations Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) during federal fiscal year 2014, covering the period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. The program sits within the natural resources funding category and is intended to help eligible public entities pursue water conservation-related efforts consistent with Reclamations mission and WCFSP goals in the Oklahoma and Texas area supported by the Great Plains Region.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at a total of $300,000, with an expectation of making about three awards. Individual awards could be as high as $100,000, and the award floor was listed as $0, meaning proposals of various sizes could be considered as long as they fit program priorities and met application requirements. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources alongside the federal funding, which is common for water conservation programs aimed at leveraging local and state investment.
Eligible applicants were limited to governmental and quasi-governmental entities, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments (such as water districts), and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This eligibility structure signals that the funding was geared toward public-sector or public-service water management entities that can implement conservation measures, planning, technical work, or related activities within their jurisdictions or service areas.
Key administrative dates for this competition included a posted date of December 12, 2013, with a creation date of January 10, 2014. The original application deadline was February 10, 2014, and it was later extended to a current closing date of February 24, 2014. The opportunity was set to be archived on February 25, 2014. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full announcement details and application materials, and those who could not access the announcement electronically were instructed to contact Lindsey Nafts at lnafts@usbr.gov for assistance.
