Opportunity Summary:
The USGS SDSUF Cooperative Joint Research Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 15 FA 0463) is a continuation funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Geological Survey under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on technical direction, data coordination, or project oversight. The posting date and creation date are both August 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2015, and an archive date of September 24, 2015, indicating this was a time-limited, formally announced continuation action.
The public-facing description is provided as a "Notice of Intent" and repeatedly points to an attachment for the substantive details, including the full program scope, required tasks, deliverables, and specific eligibility constraints. In other words, the core purpose, research focus areas, performance expectations, and application instructions are not spelled out in the brief synopsis itself; they are incorporated by reference to the attached Notice of Intent. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for funding activity, again with clarification deferred to the text in the Notice of Intent attachment.
In terms of funding, the opportunity anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The estimated total funding is $6,054,554, and the award ceiling is also $6,054,554, suggesting the full amount may be intended for one recipient under this continuation action. The award floor is listed as $1,093,919, which signals the minimum award amount USGS expected to consider within the bounds of the announcement, though the presence of one expected award and a ceiling equal to the total estimate implies a primary target at or near the maximum value depending on the final negotiated scope. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to contribute a formal non-federal share as a condition of eligibility or award, although voluntary contributions can sometimes appear in cooperative work depending on the agreement terms described in the attachment.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the additional eligibility information again contained in the attached Notice of Intent. Practically, this usually indicates the competition is not open to all standard applicant categories by default, and may be limited to certain named or pre-qualified entities, partners, or a specific organization connected to the continuation nature of the award. Because it is explicitly labeled a continuation opportunity, it commonly implies the action is intended to continue an existing project or relationship rather than start an entirely new, open-ended competition, but the exact eligibility rule set would be defined in the Notice of Intent.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the complete announcement electronically, the listed contact is Theodore Peck, Contracting Officer / Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 916-278-9441. This contact point is intended to help with obtaining the full announcement materials (especially the referenced attachment), clarifying administrative questions, and addressing access issues rather than serving as a substitute for the detailed program description contained in the Notice of Intent.
