Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a non-competitive funding notice from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is identified by the funding opportunity title "Non - Competitive Notice" and the funding opportunity number USGS 16 FA 0094. The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award, meaning the agency has discretion in making the award under its program authority rather than being required to fund based on a formula.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement. That generally indicates that, compared with a standard grant, the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance. In practice, this often means closer coordination with USGS staff, potential collaboration on technical work, and more active federal participation in project planning, execution, or reporting, depending on the terms of the agreement.
The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with a note indicating that clarification would typically appear in an explanatory text field. However, in the provided source data the description remains minimal and does not add detail about the program focus, project scope, or specific scientific or public service objectives. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with this opportunity is 15.808, which is the federal assistance listing used to categorize and track the program under which the award is made.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This means the opportunity is intended for state universities, public colleges, and similar publicly governed higher education entities, rather than private universities, nonprofit organizations broadly, companies, or individual applicants. The notice anticipates a single award, with an expected award count of 1, and an award ceiling of $65,000. In other words, the maximum amount the USGS expects to provide under this opportunity is up to $65,000, and the agency is planning to fund one recipient.
The posting timeline shows the opportunity was created and posted on March 30, 2016. The closing date is April 14, 2016, and both the original and current closing dates are the same, indicating there was no extension or amendment to the deadline in the information provided. Overall, the listing functions primarily as a brief administrative notice of an intended non-competitive cooperative agreement award up to $65,000 to an eligible public institution of higher education, with no additional program narrative included in the supplied text.
