Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "New Mexico State University Research for the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Facility" (Funding Opportunity Number 8FC811454), is a discretionary funding action from the Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordination on objectives, technical direction, reporting, and collaboration during the project period), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency participation. The activity is categorized under natural resources, aligning the work with water supply, water management, and related resource needs, specifically as they relate to brackish groundwater desalination research.
The announcement is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and states that it is "not available for competition." In practical terms, this indicates the agency had already identified the intended recipient (in this case, New Mexico State University, as reflected in the title) and published the notice for transparency and administrative purposes rather than to solicit proposals from the broader public. Even though the listing includes typical eligibility categories (various nonprofit types and public/private institutions of higher education), the noncompetitive nature of the notice means other eligible entities were not being invited to apply under this particular posting.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $3,365,000. The award ceiling is also listed as $3,365,000, and the award floor is $0, which is common in postings where the agency is disclosing the maximum planned amount while still using standardized fields. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required, at least per the public notice fields, to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the federal award.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on September 2, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2008, and an archive date of October 16, 2008. Because the notice was not competitive, the closing date functions more like an administrative window for the public posting rather than a deadline for open submissions. The overall purpose implied by the title is to support research connected to the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Facility, which typically involves advancing science and engineering related to treating moderately saline groundwater sources to produce usable water supplies, improving treatment processes, reducing costs and energy use, addressing concentrate management, and strengthening technology performance and reliability in arid and semi-arid regions where brackish groundwater can be a significant resource.
