Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0040
This notice is a public announcement from the United States Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) indicating the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project focused on increasing soil organic carbon in California. The project theme ties directly to two related goals: mitigating greenhouse gas emissions (or increasing greenhouse gas sequestration) through improved soil carbon storage, and strengthening climate resiliency by improving soil health and related ecosystem services. The posting is labeled a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD," which means the USGS is not soliciting proposals from the public under this announcement and is not running a competitive application process for this specific funding action.
In practical terms, the notice exists mainly to satisfy transparency requirements by informing the public that USGS plans to fund specified project activities without full and open competition. The announcement explicitly states, in all caps, that it is not a request for applications. Anyone searching Grants.gov for opportunities should understand that there is no open call here to submit a new proposal; instead, the agency is signaling that it expects to proceed with an award to an intended recipient (the details of which are typically provided in the associated attachments or "Related Documents" section referenced in the notice).
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov with the title "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Increasing soil organic carbon to mitigate greenhouse gases and increase climate resiliency for California" and the funding opportunity number "USGS 17 FA 0040." The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaboration on technical direction, data management, methods, reporting, or coordination with other federal or state efforts), rather than simply providing funds with minimal agency engagement as might occur under a standard grant. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.808, reflecting the USGS program area under which the assistance is being provided.
The notice indicates an anticipated award ceiling of $60,000 and expects to make one award. The posting shows a creation date of December 16, 2016, and an original closing date of December 30, 2016, but given the nature of the announcement, that closing date functions more as an administrative marker than a deadline for incoming applications. The opportunity category and activity category are both labeled as "Other," with additional clarification intended to be found in the text fields or related documentation. Eligibility is also listed broadly as "Others," again pointing readers to the additional eligibility information field or the attached documents for any specifics; however, because it is not an open competition, eligibility details are less relevant for prospective applicants than they would be for a typical competitive solicitation.
The announcement repeatedly directs readers to the "Related Documents" link for complete details. In many USGS notices of this type, those attachments contain the justification for limiting competition, a brief scope of work or statement of objectives, and sometimes the identity or category of the intended awardee. The notice also includes a general pointer to Grants.gov support resources for navigation or general grant-application guidance, but that guidance is generic and does not change the key point: this particular posting is informational and is not inviting applications.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0040
