Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation published a Notice of Intent to Award funding under opportunity number R14AC00015, titled "Notice of Intent to Award Funding to Penn State University." This posting is explicitly not a competitive funding opportunity announcement. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the agency plans to make a direct award to Penn State University using a negotiated scope of work and budget that align with and support Reclamation's mission in natural resources.
The planned award is expected to be made as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the Bureau of Reclamation anticipates having substantial involvement in the project during performance (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically operates more independently). The notice lists one anticipated award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The stated award ceiling is $150,000 and the award floor is $50,000, indicating the general range for the size of the agreement under this notice. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement identified, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.560, referenced as "SECURE Water Act Research Agreements," which places the activity within Reclamation's research-related authorities connected to water resource management and related natural resources priorities. The eligible applicant category shown is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," consistent with the intended recipient being a public university.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the notice was posted on March 4, 2014, with a closing date of March 18, 2014, and it was archived on March 19, 2014. Because the posting is a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation, the dates function more as the public notice window than as a period for submitting competitive applications.
For questions or difficulties accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Michelle Maher, Grants Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 303-445-2025.
