Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15AS00038) was a discretionary funding notice issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, through its Oklahoma-Texas Area Office. It sought proposals for activities that support Reclamation's Water Conservation Field Services Program during federal fiscal year 2015, covering the period from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. The overall intent was to fund practical, on-the-ground efforts tied to water conservation within the program's scope, under the Natural Resources funding activity category.
Funding for this opportunity was relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, and the award ceiling was also $100,000, meaning a single project could potentially receive the full amount. The award floor was listed as $0, which typically indicates there was no minimum request threshold specified. Reclamation expected to make one award.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources alongside the federal funds. The specific match ratio is not provided in the summary data here, so applicants would normally have had to consult the full announcement for the exact requirements, what kinds of contributions counted, and how they needed to be documented.
Eligibility was limited to governmental entities. Eligible applicants included special district governments, county governments, city or township governments, state governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This set of eligible applicants suggests the program was intended to support public-sector water conservation projects and planning or implementation activities carried out by local, regional, and tribal governments rather than private organizations or individuals.
From a timing standpoint, the opportunity was posted February 20, 2015. The closing date was March 20, 2015, and it was archived March 21, 2015. That indicates the proposal window was about a month long and is now closed. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity was 15.530, which corresponds to the Water Conservation Field Services Program.
For access to the full announcement and any required forms or detailed instructions, applicants were directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link listed in the notice (http://www.grants.gov). The point of contact for questions, especially for anyone who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, was Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable at (406) 247-7684 or by email at lnafts@usbr.gov.
