Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0101
This notice is a United States Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior publication titled "Notice of Intent" (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS 17 FA 0101). It is not a call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that USGS plans to support a specific set of project activities through an award that will be made without full and open competition. In practical terms, this kind of announcement is typically used when an agency intends to make a non-competitive or limited-competition award (often to a particular organization or partner) and must publicly document that intent.
The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds (for example, collaboration on technical direction, coordination, data sharing, or other hands-on participation during the project). The opportunity is categorized broadly under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, with the implication that additional clarification would be found in the associated notice documents rather than in the summary fields.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $40,000 and an expectation of one award. The associated CFDA number is 15.808, identifying the federal assistance listing under which the support is being provided. The eligibility field is listed as "Others," meaning eligibility is not described in the standard categories in the brief listing and would normally be explained in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section in the full notice materials.
Key dates included in the listing show the notice was created on March 14, 2017, with an original closing date of March 24, 2017. Because this is not an application-based funding opportunity, the closing date functions more as an administrative timeline for posting and recordkeeping rather than a deadline for submitting proposals. Anyone looking for the precise scope of work, the intended recipient or justification for non-competitive selection, and any other formal details would need to consult the full "Related Documents" referenced in the posting. The notice also points users to Grants.gov support resources for general navigation and grants process questions, reinforcing that the posting is informational rather than soliciting applications.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0101
