Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0190
This Notice of Intent (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 17 FA 0190) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), focused on "Cooperative Hydrogeophysics and Water-Resources Research." In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at supporting a collaborative research effort that uses hydrogeophysics (geophysical methods applied to groundwater and related subsurface water problems) to improve understanding of water resources. The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in shaping, coordinating, or participating in the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The activity area is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.808. The eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, so the applicant pool is essentially state universities, public colleges, and similar public academic institutions. This type of eligibility restriction typically signals the USGS is seeking a research partner in the academic community with the capacity to conduct applied scientific research and to work closely with federal scientists and programs.
The opportunity was created on May 17, 2017, with an original closing date of May 31, 2017, indicating a relatively short window between announcement and deadline. The USGS anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $41,650. Because only a single award was expected, this Notice of Intent reads like a targeted or narrowly scoped research collaboration rather than a broad, multi-award competition. The modest ceiling also suggests a focused project, pilot study, or discrete research task rather than a large multi-year program.
Overall, the grant notice is best understood as the USGS signaling its intent to fund one cooperative research project with a public institution of higher education to advance hydrogeophysical approaches and their application to water-resources questions. The key details to take away are the cooperative nature of the agreement (implying active USGS participation), the narrow eligibility (public/state higher education), the single expected award, and the maximum federal funding amount of $41,650 within the natural resources and water science space.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0190
