Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 grant opportunity titled "Support for the scientific research activities for the DOI Climate Science Centers" (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00019) was a discretionary funding program administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It was designed to support scientific research that improves understanding of climate-related impacts and helps evaluate practical options for responding to those impacts. The work supported under this opportunity was explicitly tied to departmental priorities laid out in Secretarial Order No. 3289, Amendment 1 (signed February 22, 2010), which focused on strengthening the Department of the Interior's approach to climate change and developing actionable science to inform management of natural and cultural resources.
The program used two primary funding instruments: cooperative agreements and grants. That structure suggests the government expected both traditional research awards and, in many cases, more hands-on collaboration between federal scientists and award recipients (which is typical for cooperative agreements where substantial agency involvement is anticipated). The overall activity areas were centered on environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, reflecting an applied-science focus that connects research outputs to real management decisions rather than purely theoretical work.
In terms of scale, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $67,000,000 for FY 2014, with an expectation of about 50 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to fall within a defined band: a floor of $200,000 and a ceiling of $500,000 per award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers barriers for research institutions and consortium partners by not requiring non-federal funds to be committed alongside the federal award.
Eligibility was limited and highly specific. Applicants were not open to the general public or all universities; instead, only the host institutions of the eight Department of the Interior Climate Science Centers (CSCs) were eligible to apply, and they could apply on behalf of themselves and the members of their associated university consortia. The eight eligible host institutions were: University of Alaska, Fairbanks (Alaska CSC); North Carolina State University, Raleigh (Southeast CSC); Oregon State University, Corvallis (Northwest CSC); University of Arizona, Tucson (Southwest CSC); Colorado State University, Fort Collins (North Central CSC); University of Oklahoma, Norman (South Central CSC); University of Massachusetts, Amherst (Northeast CSC); and University of Hawaii, Manoa (Pacific Islands CSC). This eligibility design reflects the CSC model, where each center is anchored by a host university and links to partner institutions to deliver regionally relevant climate science.
Key administrative dates indicate the opportunity was posted on December 18, 2013, with a closing date of September 30, 2014, and an archive date of December 31, 2014. The listing notes that there was no separate award program announcement and that some details were "to be determined," which often means the opportunity functioned as an umbrella funding mechanism for a set of awards aligned with CSC priorities during that fiscal year rather than a single, one-time competitive solicitation with a fixed set of project themes.
The funding was associated with CFDA number 15.820, "National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center," linking it to the broader DOI and USGS climate science infrastructure that supports research and decision support for fish, wildlife, water, lands, and other resources sensitive to climate variability and change. For applicants or stakeholders who needed the full official announcement and application instructions, the opportunity directed users to Grants.gov and provided a contact for access issues: Richard Heilemann, Procurement Analyst, at 703-648-7304 and rheilemann@usgs.gov.
