Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Refinement of Complex Sound Technologies to Deter" (Funding Opportunity Number USFS 16 FA 0070) is a discretionary federal funding announcement focused on applied research and development in science and technology. Administered by DOI-USGS1 (the U.S. Geological Survey within the Department of the Interior), the project centers on improving and refining complex sound-based technologies intended to deter and limit the movement of bigheaded carp. In practical terms, the work targets invasive carp management by advancing an acoustic deterrent system that can influence fish behavior and help prevent or reduce their movement into sensitive or high-risk waters.
Funding is provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant. Under this type of instrument, the agency often expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as participating in technical coordination, reviewing progress, or supporting field and research integration. The opportunity falls under the research and development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which corresponds to U.S. Geological Survey research and related assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the competition is aimed at universities and similar public academic entities rather than private companies or individuals. The posting and creation dates are both March 8, 2016, and the application deadline is March 22, 2016 (with no difference between the original and current closing dates). The opportunity anticipates making one award, and while an award ceiling is referenced, no specific maximum funding amount is provided in the source details.
