Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a federal notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement to the University of Colorado at Boulder, and it is explicitly not a competitive solicitation. The sponsoring agency is the Bureau of Reclamation, and the work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.560, which relates to SECURE Water Act research agreements. In practical terms, the notice indicates that the Bureau of Reclamation intends to direct funding to a specific institution for a specific purpose, rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
The funding opportunity number is R14AC00075, and the title is "Notice of Intent to Award Funding to the University of Colorado at Boulder." The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient action. The total estimated funding amount is $83,000, and the award ceiling is also $83,000, meaning the agency anticipates the full amount of the award will be at or up to that level. The award floor is listed as $1, which is a standard administrative entry and does not change the clear intent that the planned award amount is $83,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
The eligible applicant category is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which is consistent with the University of Colorado at Boulder; however, because the announcement states it is not a competition and is a notice of intent to award to that university, other institutions would not realistically be able to apply for or receive this funding under this announcement. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the Bureau of Reclamation expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance, such as collaboration on technical direction, oversight, or coordination, rather than simply providing funds through a more hands-off grant.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on July 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2014, and an archive date of July 26, 2014. These dates reflect the administrative window for the notice, rather than a typical open competition timeline. Anyone needing assistance accessing the full announcement electronically is directed to contact the grants officer, Michelle Maher, at 303-445-2025.
