Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a planned, non-competitive award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for a project focused on phytoplankton modeling within CASCaDE, which stands for Computational Assessments of Scenarios of Change for the Delta Ecosystem. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a solicitation, meaning USGS is announcing its intent to fund specific project activities with a selected recipient and is not requesting new proposals from the public under this posting.
The opportunity is listed on Grants.gov under the funding opportunity title "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Phytoplankton modeling in CASCaDE (Computational Assessments of Scenarios of Change for the Delta Ecosystem)" with the opportunity number USGS 16 FA 0254. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaboration on technical direction, data coordination, modeling integration, or review of deliverables), rather than simply providing funds with minimal agency interaction.
From a funding and scale perspective, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $60,000 and an expectation of one award. The posted dates show the announcement was created on June 30, 2016, with an original closing date of July 14, 2016. In notices like this, the closing date typically functions more as an administrative window for the public posting rather than a deadline for competitive applications, since the agency is explicitly stating that it does not intend to run a full and open competition under this announcement.
The listing is categorized in Grants.gov as "Other" for both opportunity category and funding activity category, with a reference to explanatory text fields for further clarification. The CFDA number associated with the notice is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS activities under the Department of the Interior. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with direction to an additional eligibility clarification field, but in practical terms that eligibility label is less relevant here because the notice is not inviting applications; it is serving as a transparency step to disclose the agency's intent to make an award without full competition.
Finally, the notice directs readers to use the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for complete details. It also points to the general Grants.gov "Support" resources for help navigating the site or learning about the grants process, even though this particular posting is not an application opportunity.
