Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior, listed under the title "Notice of Intent" (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS 16 FA 0162). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which indicates the program area used for federal assistance tracking and reporting. The posting date and creation date are both June 13, 2016, signaling that the announcement was made public and entered into the system on the same day.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the opportunity is targeted specifically to state universities, public colleges, and similar publicly governed higher education entities rather than private universities, nonprofits, individuals, or private companies. The funding instrument type is a grant, which generally implies financial assistance to support an approved public-purpose project rather than a procurement contract for goods or services.
The opportunity shows an original and current closing date of June 27, 2016, indicating that applications or required responses were due by that date and that the deadline did not change after posting. The award information suggests a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $39,564. In practical terms, that means the USGS anticipated making one grant and that the maximum amount available under this particular announcement was just under forty thousand dollars. No separate award floor is provided in the source data, so the minimum possible award amount is not specified here.
The description provided is extremely brief, consisting only of the phrase "Notice of Intent," without additional details about the project scope, geographic focus, required partnerships, deliverables, period of performance, or application components. In many federal contexts, a "Notice of Intent" signals an advance communication that an agency plans to make an award or plans to solicit a proposal, sometimes to a specific recipient or for a narrowly defined purpose. However, based strictly on the provided text, the listing does not include the substantive program narrative, technical requirements, or evaluation criteria that would normally be used to prepare a full application.
Key identifiers for reference are the agency (DOI-USGS), the opportunity number (USGS 16 FA 0162), the CFDA (15.808), the deadline (June 27, 2016), and the maximum funding level ($39,564) for one anticipated award.
