Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "USGS/WHOI Cooperative Agreement for Submission to the Woods Hole Science Center" (Funding Opportunity Number G15AC00106), is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is positioned in the Environment and Natural Resources category and aligns with CFDA 15.808, which covers USGS Research and Data Collection. The announcement was posted and created on March 10, 2015, with an application closing date of April 1, 2015, and an archive date of May 1, 2015. Only one award was expected under this opportunity.
The central purpose of the assistance award is to support cooperative activities that advance the USGS mission in the Nation's marine realms. In practical terms, the work supported under this agreement is meant to help USGS describe, understand, and predict marine geology, and then make the resulting information broadly accessible. The opportunity emphasizes producing data, analyses, and knowledge that can be used by government decision-makers and others who rely on high-quality scientific information to manage, protect, and sustainably use marine environments. The framing signals that USGS is seeking science and supporting capabilities that strengthen the federal government’s ability to understand marine geologic systems and translate that understanding into usable public information.
The total estimated funding for the award was $7,500,000, and notably the award floor and ceiling were both set at $7,500,000, indicating the agency anticipated a single award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the relationship is expected to involve substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant, typically meaning USGS would collaborate closely with the recipient on technical direction, coordination, deliverables, or other aspects of the work consistent with agency needs and mission execution.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education. The title and context indicate that the opportunity was intended for cooperative work associated with the Woods Hole Science Center and the USGS relationship with WHOI, reinforcing that this was a targeted continuation action rather than an open competition across a broad set of institutions. Applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Lillian Cephas, Grants Specialist, at 703-648-7202.
