Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Support of Watereuse FY2009 Research Agenda" (Funding Opportunity Number 09FC811505), is a Bureau of Reclamation (Denver Office) funding action tied to the federal Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program (CFDA 15.504). It is categorized as an earmark and will be administered using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Bureau of Reclamation expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordination on project direction, milestones, or technical collaboration) rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
A key point is that this notice is not an open competition. The agency states repeatedly that the proposed award is mandated by Congress through an appropriation and that this posting is only a Notice of Intent to inform the public about the nature of the award. Because it is congressionally directed, the announcement explicitly instructs the public not to submit proposals or applications. In other words, there is no application window, no competitive selection process, and no formal deadline for applicants, since the recipient and funding are effectively predetermined through the appropriations process.
The planned funding level is fixed at $2,500,000 total, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $2,500,000, and the Bureau anticipates making one award. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, consistent with water reuse, reclamation, and related applied research and water management priorities. The posting date and creation date are both August 11, 2009, and the archive date is August 11, 2010, indicating the period during which the notice was publicly accessible in the federal listing system.
The notice indicates that cost sharing or matching is required. While the details of the cost-share formula, eligible cost categories, and documentation requirements are not provided in the excerpt here (they would normally be specified in the attached Notice of Intent or in program authorizing language and related guidance), the presence of a matching requirement signals that the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds and/or allowable in-kind contributions toward the project costs as a condition of receiving the federal funding.
Eligibility is shown as "Others" with a reference to an additional eligibility clarification field, but the practical eligibility determination is overridden by the fact that this is not a solicitation. In earmark/cooperatively managed actions like this, the intended recipient is typically named or otherwise directed in congressional language, and the federal agency uses the notice mainly to provide transparency about the planned award rather than to invite new applicants.
For anyone needing the full text, the listing points to an attached Notice of Intent as the source for the detailed description (scope, purpose, and any project-specific requirements). The provided point of contact for access issues is Randale Jackson, Contract Specialist/Grants Officer, at (303) 445-2432.
