Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent to extend G11AC90009" (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS 16 FA 0009A), is a continuation action by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is not presented as a new, open-ended competitive grant in the usual sense. Instead, it is a specific notice tied to an existing cooperative agreement, with the purpose of extending the current host agreement identified as G11AC90009 for an additional period while USGS prepares to re-compete and establish new agreements.
The instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work, such as collaborative planning, coordination, or technical participation, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number listed is 15.820, which places it within a USGS-related assistance program area.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that means eligible applicants are state universities and similar public colleges or university systems. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is likely intended for the existing host organization under the current agreement rather than a broad solicitation for multiple new recipients.
The posting was created on August 19, 2016, with an original closing date of September 2, 2016. The stated award ceiling is $455,556, representing the maximum federal amount expected for this continuation period under the extension. The performance period covered by the extension is clearly defined: from November 2, 2016 through November 1, 2017. The stated reason for the extension is administrative and programmatic continuity, allowing the ongoing host activities under G11AC90009 to continue without interruption while USGS completes the re-competition process for new agreements.
In short, the opportunity is a targeted continuation/extension action by USGS to keep an existing host agreement operating for one additional year, with up to $455,556 available, limited eligibility to public, state-controlled higher education institutions, and structured as a cooperative agreement reflecting active federal involvement during the extension period.
