Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 15.808, USGS Research and Data Collection, and it is specifically a notice of intent for a hosting cooperative agreement for the Southeast Climate Science Center (SE CSC). The instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work being supported, rather than providing funds with minimal federal engagement as in a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, indicating the agreement is tied to research, data, and science support related to natural resource management and climate science in the Southeast region.
The opportunity was posted on August 14, 2015, created the same day, and had an original and final closing date of August 28, 2015, with an archive date of September 27, 2015. The short application window suggests this notice was aimed at a limited pool of eligible institutions and may have been structured as a continuation or formalization of an existing hosting arrangement, which is common for climate science center host agreements. Only one award was expected.
Funding for the single award was set at an estimated total of $457,286, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $457,286. That fixed amount indicates the award size was predetermined rather than a competitive range, and applicants were likely expected to propose a work plan and hosting approach that fit the defined budget. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the selected institution would not have been required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this means the applicant had to be a qualifying public university or similar state-controlled higher education institution capable of hosting and administering a federally supported climate science center cooperative agreement, including the administrative, financial, and programmatic capacity needed to manage research and data collection activities, partnerships, and reporting requirements under USGS oversight.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a direct point of contact: Tammy Szydloski, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703-648-7371 or by email at tszydloski@usgs.gov.
