Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to make a single cooperative agreement award to the University of Central Florida (UCF) to continue an established, long-running joint research program. The purpose of the program is to support and expand collaborative research focused primarily on hydrology and water resources, while also connecting that work to a broader set of related disciplines. These related areas explicitly include the physical sciences, Earth sciences, marine sciences, life sciences, social sciences, computational sciences, engineering, and applied mathematics. A key feature of the collaboration is the continued co-location of USGS staff within UCF facilities at the University Research Park, which is intended to strengthen day-to-day coordination and enable closer integration of USGS and university research activities.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded activities compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listed CFDA number is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The opportunity anticipates one award, reinforcing that this is not a broad, open competition but rather a targeted continuation of an existing partnership. Consistent with that intent, eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the announcement states the intent to award specifically to UCF.
The total award amount is fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $1,648,215, meaning the expected award amount is $1,648,215. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice was posted and created on August 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2015, and an archive date of October 8, 2015. The funding opportunity number is USGS FA 15 0452, and the title is "Notice of Intent - Joint USGS UCF Research Program."
