Opportunity Summary:
The Hydroclimate and Hydrometeorological Research and Applications Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR DO 15 N001) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary grant notice tied to natural resources work under CFDA 15.560, the SECURE Water Act Research Agreements program. The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the Bureau of Reclamation intended to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning it was not a typical competitive grant cycle where multiple applicants submit proposals for review.
Financially, the notice describes a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. The award structure is unusual in that the floor and the ceiling are both listed as $2,000,000, which strongly suggests the agency had already identified the intended scope and budget for the work and was announcing the planned amount rather than soliciting varying proposal budgets. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the federal funding was expected to cover the full project amount as described in the agency’s planned activities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on July 17, 2015, with the original and current closing date both shown as July 31, 2015, and an archive date of August 30, 2015. Those dates reflect the window for public notice rather than an application submission period, since the announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the accompanying eligibility statement reiterates that the purpose is public notice of an intended noncompetitive funding action, so eligibility details are not presented in the way they would be for an open competition.
Programmatically, the title indicates the work focused on hydroclimate and hydrometeorological research and the development of applications, which typically includes studying climate and weather drivers of water availability and extremes (such as droughts and floods) and translating that science into usable tools, methods, forecasts, or decision-support capabilities relevant to water management. Given the Bureau of Reclamation’s mission and the SECURE Water Act context, this kind of project commonly supports improved understanding and planning for water supply reliability, reservoir operations, and risk management under climate variability and change, although the notice itself does not lay out detailed tasks in the excerpt provided.
For further information, the announcement points to the Bureau of Reclamation website (http://www.usbr.gov). The listed contact for access issues is Shaun Wilken, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-445-3697.
