Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid Pacific Region, announced its intent to fund a single cooperative agreement focused on the Pelagic Organism Decline/Habitat Study Group Investigations. The purpose of the effort is to investigate the causes behind an observed decline in pelagic organisms and to generate the scientific information needed to help develop strategies to reverse that decline. In practical terms, the grant supports a collaborative, research-driven investigation into environmental conditions and habitat factors affecting pelagic species, with an emphasis on producing usable findings that can inform management and restoration decisions.
This opportunity is being issued under CFDA 15.512 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV) and cites statutory authorities in Public Law 102-575, specifically Sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). BOR indicated it intends to award the cooperative agreement (CESU # 3FC810873) to the University of California, Davis. Importantly, the notice is a Notice of Intent rather than a solicitation: it is not a request for competitive proposals, and BOR states that the decision not to compete the award is at the government’s discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4). The eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the structure and language of the notice make clear that a single recipient is anticipated.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination, shared technical direction, or ongoing collaboration), rather than a more hands-off grant. The award details show an expected single award with an estimated total funding amount of $230,220, which is also the stated award ceiling, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is environmental, aligning with the habitat and ecosystem focus of the work.
Key administrative details include the original and current closing date of August 19, 2010, with an archive date of August 20, 2010, indicating the announcement is historical and no longer active. The notice also references Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements (the predecessor to later federal registration systems), with registration information formerly available at ccr.gov. For questions, the listed point of contact is Vivian Davis, Grants Officer/Contract Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by email at vdavis@usbr.gov and by phone at 916-978-5543. The funding opportunity number is R10AS20107.
