Opportunity Summary:
The Inflow Dataset Extension Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00126) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action in the form of a cooperative agreement, categorized under Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development. The purpose of the award is to support technical modeling work tied to dam operations, instream flow modeling, and habitat assessment. In practical terms, this type of work typically involves improving or extending datasets that describe water inflows, using those data to model how dam release decisions affect downstream river flows, and connecting flow conditions to habitat availability or quality for fish and wildlife.
This notice is explicitly not a competitive grant solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning FWS has already identified the intended recipient and is not requesting or accepting applications from other entities. The intended recipient is the Georgia Department of Resources. The agency cites departmental policy as the basis for the decision not to compete the award (referenced as 505 DM 2.14, B.(2)), and notes that this determination is within the agency's discretion. Although the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted" in a general sense, the eligibility information clarifies that the opportunity is not a request for applications, so other potential applicants should not expect a path to compete for these funds under this notice.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount is $25,380, with an expected number of awards equal to one. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in records where the specific amount is handled through the intended award action rather than through a competed range; the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful number for understanding the scale of the agreement. The CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with the opportunity is 15.670, Adaptive Science, which aligns with the modeling and science support focus described.
Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on March 10, 2015, with an original and current closing date of March 17, 2015, and an archive date of March 20, 2015. Since this is a single-source intent notice rather than an open competition, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting window than a deadline for proposal submissions.
For administrative questions, the contact provided is Teresa Crain, Grants Management Assistant, reachable at 404-679-4124 and teresacrain@fws.gov. An additional information link is referenced via Grants.gov.
