Opportunity Summary:
This Notice of Intent to Award is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior, identified as DOI-USGS1. The opportunity is titled "Notice of Intent to Award" and carries the funding opportunity number USGS FA 16 0099. It announces USGS's intention to make a single cooperative agreement award to support a specific research effort: joint research focused on monitoring hardwood restoration in riparian ecosystems in Indiana. In practical terms, the project centers on evaluating and tracking the progress and outcomes of efforts to restore hardwood vegetation along rivers and streams, where riparian forests play a major role in habitat quality, stream health, erosion control, and broader watershed function.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the project during its performance. This often includes collaboration on technical direction, coordination of research tasks, shared use of data or methods, and ongoing communication about progress and findings. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, signaling that the work is research-driven and likely includes field monitoring, data collection, analysis, and reporting designed to produce usable scientific information about restoration effectiveness.
The intended recipient is the University of Central Arkansas, and the eligibility category listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education." The notice indicates an expectation of one award in total, with an award ceiling of $66,752, meaning the maximum anticipated federal funding for this action is $66,752. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which corresponds to USGS program assistance.
Key timing details show the opportunity was created and posted on April 1, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2016. Because this is framed as a Notice of Intent to Award, it is not presented as an open competition for multiple applicants; instead, it functions as a formal public notice that USGS plans to fund this specific institution for this defined purpose. The core purpose is to advance joint research supporting hardwood restoration monitoring in Indiana riparian ecosystems, which typically involves tracking vegetation establishment and survival, assessing ecological responses over time, and generating monitoring results that can inform future restoration design and management decisions.
