Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Denver Office) posted a notice titled "Numerical Modeling for Water Demands Under Climate Change" under Funding Opportunity Number R11AC81398. The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding and would be carried out through a cooperative agreement, with the activity focus listed under natural resources. It is associated with CFDA 15.560, tied to SECURE Water Act research agreements. The award amount is fixed at $263,278, meaning the award ceiling and floor are the same, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
A key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that Reclamation intends to fund certain project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that typically means the agency has already identified a recipient or is continuing work with an existing partner, and the announcement is being posted to satisfy public transparency requirements rather than to solicit new proposals from the general public. Because of that, even though an "Eligible Applicants" field is present and references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility language does not operate like a normal competitive grant because the agency is not inviting applications.
The timeline reflects that limited, notice-style purpose. The posting and creation dates are both March 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 27, 2013, and an archive date of April 26, 2013. These dates indicate the window in which the notice was publicly visible and administratively active, rather than a standard application cycle with proposal preparation time, peer review, and competitive selection.
The project topic, as stated in the title, centers on numerical modeling of water demands under climate change. While the announcement text provided does not describe the technical scope in detail, the title strongly suggests work that uses computational models to estimate how water demand patterns may shift under future climate conditions, which commonly involves integrating climate projections with hydrologic, land use, and socioeconomic drivers to support water resources planning. Within Reclamation's mission and the SECURE Water Act context, this sort of effort is generally aimed at improving decision support for managing water supplies, anticipating demand changes, and evaluating vulnerabilities and adaptation options for water systems.
