Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stating its intent to make a noncompetitive award for a specific project focused on climate change, climate variability, and drought in the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands, with an emphasis on helping local managers reduce and manage the impacts of drought and wildfire. It is not an open funding opportunity and it is not requesting applications; instead, it serves as transparency that USGS plans to fund defined project activities through a cooperative agreement without competition.
The project theme centers on translating climate and drought information into practical decision support for people responsible for land and natural resource management in the Pacific Islands. In plain terms, the work is meant to help managers better anticipate drought conditions, understand how climate variability and longer-term climate change influence water stress and fire risk, and apply that information to reduce harm to ecosystems, communities, and infrastructure. The title signals a strong applied focus, meaning the effort is intended to be carried out in collaboration with on-the-ground managers and practitioners, rather than being purely academic research.
From the grant listing details, the opportunity is categorized as "Other" and would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in project coordination, technical input, or shared implementation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.820. The posting identifies "Others" as eligible applicants, but because the announcement is strictly a notice of intent to award without competition, eligibility is largely informational rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
The posted financial and administrative details indicate an award ceiling of $203,612 and an original closing date of April 16, 2020, with the notice created on April 3, 2020. The listing does not indicate multiple expected awards, suggesting this is intended to support a single planned project or recipient partner. Anyone looking for full technical scope, deliverables, or recipient information would need to consult the "Related Documents" referenced in the notice, since the synopsis itself primarily communicates the noncompetitive intent and the general project purpose rather than a full statement of work.
