Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 20 FA 0067
This notice describes a US Geological Survey (USGS) intent to make a non-competitive award for a project titled "Implementing Environmental Flows within Management Scenarios for the Middle Rio Grande Basin under a Changing Climate." It is not a solicitation and it is not asking organizations to submit applications. Instead, it is a public transparency posting that USGS plans to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to be substantially involved in the work rather than simply providing a pass-through grant.
The focus of the project is the Middle Rio Grande Basin and how environmental flows can be built into realistic water management scenarios as climate conditions change. In practice, "environmental flows" refers to the timing, duration, frequency, and magnitude of river flows needed to support river ecosystem health, including habitat conditions for native species, riparian vegetation, channel processes, and overall ecological function. By pairing environmental flow considerations with management scenarios, the work is aimed at helping decision-makers evaluate tradeoffs among competing water demands (such as municipal supply, irrigation, and habitat needs) under increasing hydrologic variability and climate-driven shifts in runoff patterns.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with CFDA number 15.820, and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $299,135 and shows that the expected number of awards is not specified in the provided data. The opportunity number is USGS 20 FA 0067. The agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). The posting was created on 2020-02-26, with an original closing date of 2020-03-11, which in this context functions more like an administrative posting date window rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being requested.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but because this is a notice of intent to award without competition, the practical takeaway is that USGS has already identified the recipient or partner organization and is publishing the notice to document its intention to fund that work directly. Anyone looking for additional specifics (such as the named recipient, scope of work details, or justification for non-competitive selection) would need to review the materials referenced under the "Related Documents" section mentioned in the notice.Apply for USGS 20 FA 0067
