Long Term Resource Monitoring Program FY 2013 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) FY 2013 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00010) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) cooperative agreement program that supports long term environmental and resource monitoring across the Upper Mississippi River System. The program is structured as a coordinated effort between USGS and five partner states Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin with the overall goal of sustaining consistent, scientifically credible monitoring that helps track conditions and trends in this major river system over time. The activity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and is listed under CFDA 15.978, Upper Mississippi River System Long Term Resource Monitoring Program.

This opportunity uses the cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning the work is expected to be carried out with substantial involvement from the federal agency compared to a typical grant. In practice, that generally reflects the nature of LTRMP work: standardized field sampling, shared protocols, coordinated data management, and close collaboration among the USGS and state field stations to maintain continuity in monitoring methods and reporting. The announcement does not indicate a cost sharing or matching requirement.

Eligibility is narrowly limited by statute. Only the five state agencies and their associated six LTRMP field stations named in the announcement are allowed to apply, as stipulated in the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99 662). The eligible applicants are: Iowa Department of Natural Resources (LTRMP Mississippi River Monitoring Station); Illinois Natural History Survey (LTRMP Pool 26 Field Station and LTRMP Havana Field Station); Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (LTRMP Lake City Field Station); Missouri Department of Conservation (LTRMP Open Rivers and Wetlands Field Station); and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (LTRMP Pool 8 Field Station). This restriction makes clear that the funding is intended to maintain and adjust the established LTRMP network rather than open competition to new institutions.

Key administrative dates for FY 2013 are tied to the type of requested action. The opportunity was posted and created on Nov 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of Mar 31, 2013, and an archive date of Jun 29, 2013. Within that overall window, FY 2013 due dates are split: Jan 15, 2013 applies to new requests or proposals involving changes in scope of work or total estimated cost, while Mar 31, 2013 applies to other changes that do not alter scope of work or total estimated cost. This structure suggests the program anticipated ongoing, multi party monitoring operations where many submissions are amendments or updates to existing work rather than entirely new projects.

The funding fields in the listing show an estimated total funding amount of 0 and award ceiling and floor of 0, which typically indicates that the public synopsis does not specify a set funding level in the posting itself, or that amounts are determined through internal allocations or separate budgeting processes rather than stated as a competitive pool with explicit limits. Applicants would generally need to rely on program guidance, prior year cooperative agreement amounts, or direct communication with the USGS contact to understand expected funding levels for specific stations or work elements.

For additional details, the notice points applicants to Grants.gov and provides a USGS contact for access issues: Desiree Santa at 703 648 7382 or dsanta@usgs.gov.
