Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding notice announcing the government intent to continue supporting the Alaska Climate Science Center through a modification to an existing cooperative agreement. The action is described as non-competitive, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from multiple organizations for comparison; instead, it plans to extend or amend an ongoing agreement specifically with the University of Alaska Fairbanks to continue work already underway for the Alaska Climate Science Center.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a substantial level of involvement by the federal agency in the supported activities compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.808, labeled "U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection." In practical terms, this points to research, monitoring, and data-related efforts that align with USGS science priorities, with a focus here on climate science relevant to Alaska.
Only one award is expected under this notice. The award amount is fixed in the announcement, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $1,362,266, signaling that the planned modification amount is predetermined rather than variable. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving this federal support.
Eligibility is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education." However, because the notice is specifically a notice of intent for a non-competitive continuation with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the eligibility language functions more as a standard category statement than an invitation for other institutions to apply. The posting date and creation date are August 11, 2015. The original and current closing date are both August 25, 2015, and the archive date is September 24, 2015, which indicates the notice is no longer active and has been retained for recordkeeping and transparency.
The sponsoring agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). For assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Tammy Szydloski, Contracting Officer/Grant Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-648-7371.
