Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a federal discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, issued as a Notice of Intent to Award. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number R14AC00066 and is titled "Notice of Intent to Award to Texas A." It signals the agency's intent to make a single award to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, rather than running a broad, competitive solicitation. The award is expected to be made using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Bureau of Reclamation anticipates having substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or technical aspects during the period of performance, as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient generally operates more independently.
The programmatic focus is listed under the Natural Resources activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.560, SECURE Water Act Research Agreements. This indicates the work is connected to water-related research priorities under the SECURE Water Act framework, which generally supports studies and applied research that help improve understanding, planning, and management of water resources. While the announcement text provided is brief and does not describe the specific project tasks or deliverables, the CFDA linkage and the Bureau of Reclamation as the funding agency strongly imply the effort is intended to support Reclamation's water resource management mission through research or analysis.
In terms of funding, the opportunity anticipates exactly one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $123,000. The stated award ceiling is also $123,000, meaning the maximum expected award amount is $123,000, while the award floor is listed as $1, reflecting a technical minimum rather than a realistic award size. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is specified as "Private institutions of higher education." In practice, however, because this is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly names the Texas A&M Transportation Institute as the intended recipient, it is not structured as an open competition for other applicants. The notice was posted and created on July 7, 2014. The original and current closing date were both July 21, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on July 22, 2014, indicating the announcement window was short and that it has since closed.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Michelle Maher, Grants Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation. The contact phone number provided is 303-445-2025.
