Opportunity Summary:
The Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) FY 2015 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00007) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary cooperative agreement program tied to the Upper Mississippi River System Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (CFDA 15.978). At its core, it supports ongoing, standardized monitoring and related science and technology work across the Upper Mississippi River System through a long-running partnership between USGS and the five participating states: Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. The program is built around coordinated field-based monitoring, data collection, and resource tracking intended to produce consistent, long-term information about river system conditions and trends.
This opportunity is not open to the general public or to a broad set of institutions. Eligibility is restricted by the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-662) to specific state agencies and their designated LTRMP field stations. Only the following applicants may apply: the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (Mississippi River Monitoring Station); the Illinois Natural History Survey (Pool 26 Field Station and Havana Field Station); the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (Lake City Field Station); the Missouri Department of Conservation (Open Rivers and Wetlands Field Station); and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (Pool 8 Field Station). In other words, this is a targeted funding mechanism meant to maintain and adjust the work of established LTRMP partners rather than bring in new organizations.
Applications and requests are organized around two FY 2015 due dates depending on what is being proposed. Submissions involving new work or any change in scope of work or total estimated cost were due January 15, 2015. Other changes that do not involve a change to scope of work or total estimated cost were due March 31, 2015. The opportunity was originally posted on September 25, 2014, and archived on September 30, 2015, indicating it was tied to that fiscal year cycle and timeline.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USGS expects substantial involvement in the project beyond what would be typical in a standard grant. While the announcement lists estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor as 0, that usually reflects that specific dollar amounts were not published in the synopsis and may have been determined through internal allocations, continuation actions, or approved work plans with the eligible field stations rather than through an open competitive pool with a stated maximum.
No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award. The activity category is classified as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, consistent with the program's emphasis on long-term monitoring and the generation of data and information products that support understanding and management of the river system.
For additional details, the public listing pointed applicants to Grants.gov and provided a USGS contact for assistance accessing the announcement: Desiree Santa (703-648-7382, dsanta@usgs.gov).
