Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Hydrologic Control, Formative Geometry, and Physical Habitat of Sandbars in the Niobrara River, Nebraska" is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding notice associated with CFDA 15.945 and categorized under Education. The project focuses on understanding emergent sandbar dynamics along a defined reach of the Niobrara River in Nebraska, specifically from the Norden Bridge downstream to where the Niobrara meets the Missouri River. In practical terms, the work centers on how river flows shape sandbars, what physical forms those sandbars take as they develop and change, and how those geomorphic features function as habitat within the river corridor.
The notice is not an open call for proposals. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent indicating that the work will be implemented through a Task Agreement under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00728) that had already been awarded through a competitive process. Because of that prior competitive selection, no new applications are being accepted and there is no active closing date in the usual sense; the posting is mainly informational and administrative, documenting the government’s intention to fund a specific piece of work under an established partnership vehicle rather than soliciting new submissions.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The posting lists one expected award with an award ceiling of $85,887, reflecting a single, bounded scope of work rather than a broad multi-award program. Eligible applicants are identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the research and education framing and suggesting the project is intended to be carried out by an academic or university-affiliated team with relevant expertise in hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, sediment dynamics, and habitat assessment.
Overall, the opportunity supports a focused research effort to link hydrologic conditions (such as flow magnitude, timing, and variability) with the formation and evolution of sandbar geometry and the resulting physical habitat characteristics along an important Nebraska river reach. The listing was created and posted on February 2, 2016, and serves as a record of intended funding under an existing cooperative framework rather than a competitive funding announcement open to the wider community.
