Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Study of the Effectiveness of a Laboratory Scale System to Reduce Water Super Saturation" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AP00151), is a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation. It sits in the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.560, the SECURE Water Act Research Agreements program. The core purpose, based on the title and limited description provided, is to support a research effort that evaluates how well a laboratory-scale system can reduce water supersaturation, a condition where dissolved gases in water exceed equilibrium levels and can create operational or ecological problems in water infrastructure and aquatic environments.
A key point is that this is not a competitive funding opportunity. The agency explicitly states it is a notice of intent to make an award to Johns Hopkins University, meaning the funding decision is essentially predetermined and the posting functions primarily as a public notice rather than an open solicitation. The eligible applicant category is listed as private institutions of higher education, but the eligibility section clarifies that the intended recipient is Johns Hopkins University, so other institutions should not interpret the listing as an invitation to apply.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $101,000. The award ceiling is also $101,000, indicating the full available amount is capped at that level, while the award floor is listed as $1, which is a standard administrative placeholder rather than a realistic funding level for a research project of this type. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2014, and it was archived on August 26, 2014. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the notice, not a competitive application period. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement is directed to contact the listed grants officer, Michelle Maher, at 303-445-2025, indicating the Bureau of Reclamation point of contact for grant administration related to this award.
