Opportunity Summary:
The Long Term Resources Monitoring Program (LTRMP) FY 2010 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 10HQPA0023) is a mandatory, cooperative agreement funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Geological Survey. It supports long-term environmental monitoring and related science intended to help decision makers keep the Upper Mississippi River System functioning as a healthy, multiple-use large river ecosystem. In practical terms, the program is built around collecting and managing consistent, long-running data so agencies can understand how the river system works, track how conditions change over time, and use that evidence to guide management actions.
The core mission of the LTRMP is to deliver reliable information for river management, and its long-term monitoring goals are framed around several connected outcomes: improving overall understanding of the river system; identifying resource trends, changes, and impacts; developing and evaluating management alternatives; managing and organizing information so it remains accessible and useful over time; and producing practical products that decision makers can actually use. The opportunity is categorized under Environment, Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and it is tied to CFDA number 15.978 (Upper Mississippi River System Long Term Resource Monitoring Program).
Funding under this announcement had an award ceiling of $4,000,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. The announcement was posted on February 18, 2010, and the application window ran until September 30, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on October 30, 2010. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should generally expect substantial federal involvement in the work compared with a standard grant, often including coordination on technical approaches, data standards, reporting, and program priorities.
Eligibility for this opportunity was narrowly limited by statute. Only five state agencies operating six designated field stations were eligible to apply, as stipulated in the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-662). The eligible applicants were: the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (LTRMP Mississippi River Monitoring Station); the Illinois Natural History Survey (LTRMP Pool 26 Field Station and LTRMP Havana Field Station); the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (LTRMP Lake City Field Station); the Missouri Department of Conservation (LTRMP Open Rivers and Wetlands Field Station); and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (LTRMP Pool 8 Field Station). This structure reflects the program design, which relies on a small number of specialized, long-standing field stations distributed across the system to ensure consistent monitoring coverage and comparable data collection across years.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Laura Mahoney, Grant Analyst, reachable by phone at 703-648-7344, referenced as the USGS Grants.gov contact for assistance.
