Opportunity Summary:
The Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration Conference (GEER) 2015 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AP00075) was a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). It supported work in the environment and natural resources area, specifically focused on helping agencies and partners coordinate efforts tied to the Greater Everglades ecosystem restoration community through the 2015 GEER Conference. The central purpose of the award was to partner with other federal and state agencies to provide coordination and technical assistance aimed at co-funding and organizing the 2015 conference, which serves as a venue for sharing science, restoration progress, and interagency collaboration across the Everglades.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $25,000, and both the award ceiling and floor were set at exactly $25,000, indicating a fixed-amount grant rather than a range of potential award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the opportunity category was listed as discretionary, meaning awards were made based on competitive or programmatic selection rather than a formula distribution.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this suggests the award was meant for a qualified nonprofit entity capable of convening partners, coordinating logistics, and delivering technical support necessary to help secure and align co-funding contributions for the conference, while working closely with federal and state participants involved in Everglades restoration.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on March 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 12, 2015, reflecting a short application window of roughly two weeks.
