Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0093A
The Notice of Intent grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 17 FA 0093A) is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.820. The program description provided is brief, identifying the focus as the Colorado Natural Heritage Program, which typically relates to the documentation, assessment, and conservation support for Colorado's biological diversity and natural features through data development, applied research, and information delivery that can inform land and resource management decisions.
This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument type and is structured for a single anticipated award, with an expected awards count of 1. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed is $32,478, indicating a relatively small, targeted award intended to support a specific scope of work rather than a broad multi-project portfolio. Because it is presented as a "Notice of intent," it may signal an intent to fund a particular project or partner rather than an open, highly competitive solicitation, although the exact selection approach is not described in the provided text.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practice, that means qualifying state universities, public colleges, and similar public higher education entities are the intended applicants, while private universities, non-profits, companies, and individuals are not listed as eligible under the provided eligibility category. Applicants would typically need to demonstrate that they have the institutional capacity to carry out natural resources work aligned with the Colorado Natural Heritage Program and meet standard federal grant compliance requirements.
Key dates show the opportunity was created on July 17, 2017, with an original closing date of July 31, 2017. That two-week window suggests the agency may have expected a prepared or pre-identified applicant to respond quickly, which is common for intent-to-award style postings or specialized, narrowly scoped projects. Overall, this is a small, single-award USGS natural resources grant opportunity aimed at supporting work connected to the Colorado Natural Heritage Program, available only to public/state-controlled higher education institutions, with funding capped at $32,478 and a closing date at the end of July 2017.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0093A
