Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to extend G11AC90008" (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS 16 FA 0008) is a discretionary federal assistance announcement from the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates that the USGS expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period (as opposed to a standard grant, where agency involvement is usually more limited). The program area is classified under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.820.
At its core, this announcement is not describing a brand-new competitive program, but a specific administrative action: it is a notice of intent to extend an existing "Host Agreement" identified as G11AC90008. The purpose of the extension is to maintain continuity of the work covered under that agreement for an additional year, covering the period from September 2, 2016 through September 1, 2017. The rationale provided is that this extension is being put in place while the agency completes a recompetition process for a new agreement. In other words, the extension functions as a bridge period so that ongoing activities, staffing, data collection, or other operational responsibilities tied to the host arrangement can continue without interruption until a new competitively awarded agreement is ready to begin.
The opportunity is limited in scope in terms of who may apply. Eligible applicants are restricted to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), which strongly signals that the extension is intended for the incumbent host institution already operating under agreement G11AC90008, rather than an open call for multiple new applicants. The maximum funding level listed for the award is $680,180 (Award Ceiling: 680,180), which represents the upper limit expected for the extension period described.
In terms of timing, the opportunity record shows a creation date of August 4, 2016, with an original closing date of August 18, 2016. That short turnaround is consistent with an extension action tied to an existing agreement and an immediate operational need, rather than a lengthy, fully open competitive cycle. Overall, this notice communicates that USGS intends to continue funding, via a cooperative agreement mechanism, the ongoing host-related work under G11AC90008 for one additional year, ensuring program continuity while the agency prepares and completes a new competitive award.
