Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation has issued a Notice of Intent to Award under the funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Award" (Funding Opportunity Number: BOR LC 16 N016). This notice is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity within the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.519. The published description indicates that it is a "Notice of Intent to Award only," which typically means the agency is announcing its intent to make an award (often to a specific recipient) rather than inviting new applications through an open, competitive process.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. The listing reflects an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1), with a maximum possible funding amount (Award Ceiling) of $100,000. Because it is framed strictly as a notice of intent, the practical implication is that funding is likely already targeted for a particular project and/or recipient, and other parties generally should not expect to apply unless the agency separately releases full application instructions or a competitive announcement.
Key timing details show the opportunity was created on June 28, 2016, with an original closing date of July 11, 2016. In many cases, dates on an intent-to-award notice function more as administrative milestones for finalizing the award package than as a true application deadline, especially when the opportunity is not open for competition.
In short, this listing signals the Bureau of Reclamation's planned issuance of one grant award of up to $100,000 in the natural resources area to an eligible federally recognized tribal government, and it does not present itself as a standard call for proposals.
