Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a notice of intent from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior, to make a single discretionary award through a cooperative agreement to the Delaware Geological Survey. The purpose is narrowly defined: support the Delaware Geological Survey in serving as a data provider to the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN), a national effort focused on improving access to groundwater monitoring data and strengthening the overall groundwater information framework used by agencies, researchers, and water-resource decision makers.
The opportunity is identified as "Notice of Intent - Delaware Geological Survey Participation as Data Provider in NGWMN" and carries the funding opportunity number USGS 16 FA 0023. It is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating or guiding aspects of the work compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as natural resources, aligning with groundwater monitoring, hydrology, and environmental data management. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.980.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and in practice this notice is specifically targeted to the Delaware Geological Survey as the intended recipient. The posting date and creation date are both December 15, 2015, and the closing date is December 28, 2015 (with the original and current closing dates the same), indicating a short application window consistent with a notice of intent aimed at a particular partner rather than a broad, competitive solicitation.
Financially, the anticipated award ceiling is $27,101, and the USGS expects to make one award. In other words, this is a small, focused cooperative agreement intended to support a specific data-provider role rather than a large-scale research or infrastructure project. The central deliverable implied by the description is participation in NGWMN as a data provider, which generally involves preparing, organizing, and transmitting groundwater monitoring data in formats and through processes that allow the national network to ingest, index, and present information consistently for broader public and interagency use.
