Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Numerical Modeling for Water Demands Under Climate Change" (Funding Opportunity Number R11AC81398) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office notice related to research and development work under the WaterSMART program (CFDA 15.507, "Sustaining and Manage Americas Resources for Tomorrow"). The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaborating on technical direction, data sharing, review of milestones, or coordination with other Reclamation efforts).
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification of the governments intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement award. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling it plans to fund one specific recipient rather than running a competitive process open to multiple applicants. The "Eligible Applicants" field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the key eligibility clarification is that the announcement is not soliciting proposals and is intended to support a non-competitive, single-source award.
The funding parameters indicate one expected award, with both an award floor and award ceiling of $150,000, meaning the planned award amount is $150,000 total. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The announcement was posted and created on August 16, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and an archive date of September 25, 2011. Even though a closing date is listed, in single-source intent notices this often functions more like an administrative window for posting and public notice rather than a deadline for submitting competing applications, since applications are not being requested.
Based on the title and program context, the work supported by this cooperative agreement is aimed at developing or applying numerical models to understand how water demands may change under climate change conditions. Within WaterSMART and Reclamation planning, this type of modeling generally supports better decision-making for water resources management by improving forecasts or scenario analyses that incorporate climate-driven shifts in temperature, precipitation, snowpack, runoff timing, evapotranspiration, population or land-use pressures, and sectoral water use patterns. The emphasis on "numerical modeling" suggests a technical effort involving computational tools, model calibration or validation, and use of climate projections to estimate demand impacts, likely intended to inform adaptation strategies, operational planning, or regional water supply reliability assessments.
