Opportunity Summary:
The "Seafloor Mapping Mosiac" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 15 FA 0468) was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey under CFDA 15.808, which covers USGS research and data collection. It was published on August 11, 2015, and presented as a Notice of Intent, meaning the public-facing listing is mainly a formal notification that the agency planned to pursue an award rather than a fully detailed, open, competitive solicitation. The program area is labeled broadly as "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, with the listing repeatedly pointing applicants to an attached Notice of Intent for the substantive details, including the specific purpose, technical requirements, and any special conditions tied to the work on seafloor mapping and mosaic creation.
The planned award mechanism was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as collaboration on technical direction, data standards, deliverables, or coordination with related USGS efforts. The announcement anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $10,000, and it set both the award ceiling and award floor at $10,000, signaling that the agency expected to make exactly one award at that exact amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so recipients would not be expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award, at least based on the summary fields provided in the notice.
Key dates were tightly defined: the posting and creation date were both August 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2015, and an archive date of September 24, 2015. That timeline suggests a short response window consistent with a notice-style posting, and it may imply that eligibility, selection approach, and application instructions were constrained or predetermined in the attached Notice of Intent rather than described in the brief synopsis. Eligibility was also listed in a non-specific way as "Others," again directing readers to the attached Notice of Intent for the exact eligible applicant types and any restrictions or pre-identified partners.
For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement materials, the contact listed was Theodore Peck, identified as a Contract Specialist/Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 916-278-9441. Overall, based on the public synopsis fields alone, the opportunity is best understood as a small, single-award USGS cooperative agreement supporting a seafloor mapping mosaic-related effort, with most of the operational details (scope of work, required data products, geographic focus, eligibility specifics, submission requirements, and evaluation approach) residing in the referenced attached Notice of Intent.
