Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent - Analyzing Correlations and Effects of Human Migration of Marshallese Islanders" under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0386. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping away. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.808, indicating it sits within a broader federal assistance program administered by USGS.
The stated purpose of the opportunity is to support a project that analyzes correlations and effects related to human migration of Marshallese Islanders. While the posting does not provide a detailed scope, the title suggests a research-driven effort focused on understanding how migration patterns connect with measurable outcomes or conditions, and what impacts may result from those movements. In practice, opportunities framed this way often involve compiling and analyzing multiple data sources, identifying statistical or spatial relationships, and describing implications for communities and potentially for resource management, public services, or environmental and socioeconomic conditions, depending on what variables are examined.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the applicant pool is essentially public universities and similar state-run colleges. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), which implies the agency intended to fund one primary project rather than multiple smaller projects.
Financially, the maximum award amount (Award Ceiling) is listed as $267,720. The announcement was created on August 1, 2016, with an original closing date of August 15, 2016, indicating a short application window consistent with a notice of intent or a targeted cooperative agreement where the agency may already have a specific research need and a limited timeframe for moving the work forward.
In summary, this is a time-limited USGS cooperative agreement opportunity aimed at a public institution of higher education to conduct analysis on the relationships and impacts tied to Marshallese Islander migration, with up to $267,720 available for one selected project under the USGS natural resources assistance program.
