Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Upper Colorado Region) posted a discretionary opportunity titled "Salt Loading Studies" (Funding Opportunity Number R12SF40003) under CFDA 15.509, the Title II Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program. Rather than a traditional grant solicitation focused on awarding funds, this notice functions mainly as a request for information. The agency is looking to gather existing evidence from the field in the form of published or unpublished materials such as technical reports, research studies, demonstrations, and case studies.
The specific information Reclamation wants is documentation of measures or land-management practices that have produced quantifiable reductions in salt loading to a receiving stream or other water bodies. A key constraint is that the source information must come from non-irrigated grazed lands in arid or semi-arid environments. In other words, the focus is on rangeland or similar grazing landscapes where irrigation is not part of the system, and where salinity contributions to waterways can be measured and shown to have decreased due to identifiable actions.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could respond (for example, universities, agencies, nonprofits, consultants, watershed groups, or individual researchers), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement text. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which reinforces that the primary intent is information collection rather than making a funded award through this posting.
The posting date and creation date were February 2, 2012. The original and current closing date were both February 17, 2012, and the archive date was February 18, 2012. Submissions of the requested information were to be sent directly to Travis James at tjames@usbr.gov. For issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Lila Duffin, Grant Specialist, at 801-524-3647 (work email also indicated in the notice).
