Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FAC 0012
This funding opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent - Single Source Award" (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS 18 FAC 0012), is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announcement under the Department of the Interior. It is being offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, indicating it does not fit neatly into a standard research-only or infrastructure-only bucket and instead combines multiple purposes described in the narrative.
The core purpose is to support a joint program that integrates research, education, and outreach focused on the scientific management of water resources. The geographic emphasis is Oregon and the broader Pacific Northwest, suggesting the work is intended to address water-resource priorities that are regionally significant, such as water availability, water quality, drought and flood impacts, watershed health, and other hydrologic and environmental issues relevant to communities, ecosystems, and resource managers in the region. Because the program explicitly includes research, education, and outreach, the funded activities are likely intended to span scientific investigation, student or workforce development, and efforts to translate science into practice through engagement with stakeholders and the public.
A distinctive feature of this opportunity is that it includes collocation of the USGS Oregon Water Science Center on the campus of Portland State University (PSU). Collocation typically means shared physical space or an embedded presence that enables day-to-day collaboration. In practical terms, this can support closer coordination between federal scientists and university faculty and students, shared access to expertise and facilities, joint projects, and expanded opportunities for training and outreach. The collocation component signals that the award is not only about funding projects but also about strengthening an ongoing institutional partnership and creating a durable hub for water science and water-resource management support in the region.
The notice is described as a "single source" award and indicates an expectation of one award (Expected Awards: 1). Single source awards are commonly used when the agency intends to fund a specific organization because it is uniquely positioned to perform the work, often due to established partnerships, specialized capabilities, location-based needs, or continuity of an existing program. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the details referred to an additional eligibility clarification field (not included in the provided text). However, the emphasis on collocation at Portland State University implies that PSU is the intended recipient or a central partner in the planned arrangement.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $3,040,000, which is the maximum amount anticipated under this notice. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS program assistance for activities tied to the agency's scientific mission. The opportunity was created on November 15, 2017, and the original closing date was November 29, 2017, indicating a short window typical of a notice of intent or a targeted, non-competitive or limited-competition action where the agency has already identified the recipient and is completing the required public posting steps.
In summary, this is a targeted USGS cooperative agreement intended to support a combined research, education, and outreach program centered on water-resource science and management for Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, with a significant structural component that places the USGS Oregon Water Science Center on Portland State University's campus to deepen collaboration and build a shared regional water-science presence.Apply for USGS 18 FAC 0012
