Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Island Ecohydology Project is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It is issued under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0282 and was created on June 28, 2016, with an original closing date of July 12, 2016. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by the federal agency during performance (for example, collaboration on technical direction, data sharing, or other joint responsibilities typical of cooperative agreements rather than simple pass-through grants).
This opportunity is explicitly described as a non-competitive cooperative agreement, indicating it was not intended to be an open, head-to-head competition among many applicants. Non-competitive awards like this are often used when a specific partner is uniquely qualified, when continuity with an existing project is needed, or when there is a clear programmatic reason to work with a particular organization. The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $346,000, meaning the maximum funding amount available under this announcement is up to $346,000.
The funding activity category is listed as "Other" (with a note referencing an explanatory text field in the full posting), and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS-related assistance listings. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which typically means the eligible entity type is not limited strictly to common categories like state governments or universities and may be defined more specifically in the complete notice.
In practical terms, this announcement supports work under the Pacific Island Ecohydology Project, a topic that generally relates to understanding how ecological systems and water processes interact across Pacific island environments. While the short summary provided does not include technical objectives, deliverables, or place-based scope, the title and agency context strongly suggest the work would involve ecohydrologic research, monitoring, analysis, and/or applied science support related to water resources and ecosystem function in Pacific island settings, implemented in collaboration with USGS under the cooperative agreement structure.
