Opportunity Summary:
This posting is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation). It is not a typical open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it signals Reclamation's intent to make a specific award and provides public notice that an award is planned. The opportunity is identified by the Funding Opportunity Title "Notice of Intent to Award" and the Funding Opportunity Number "BOR LC 16 N012." It was created on July 12, 2016, with an original closing date of July 25, 2016, which in this context generally functions as an administrative deadline tied to the notice posting rather than a standard application deadline for broad submission.
The opportunity is categorized as a continuation action, meaning it is associated with ongoing work or an existing project relationship rather than launching a new competition. The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. In practice, cooperative agreements often include closer coordination, shared responsibilities, or active participation by the agency in technical direction, oversight, or project implementation compared with a standard grant.
The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.538. That CFDA number corresponds to Bureau of Reclamation assistance programs, commonly tied to water and related resource management efforts in the western United States, though the notice text provided does not include any project-specific narrative beyond the intent to award. The eligible applicant type listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," indicating that the intended recipient must be a qualifying public university or state-controlled higher education institution.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $700,000 and an expectation of one award, reinforcing that this is likely directed to a single, identified recipient under a continuation framework rather than multiple awards to competing applicants. The description provided is limited to "Notice of Intent to Award Only," which usually means no additional program description, scope of work, or application instructions are being offered through this posting, and that the award is anticipated to proceed through internal agency processes with the intended institution.
