Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FAC 4885
This opportunity is a US Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior notice stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Assessment of vegetation response to managed disturbance and validation of Conservation Reserve Program cover quality." The notice is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning USGS is not soliciting proposals through open competition. Instead, it is publishing a public notification that it plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive process, with further details referenced in the "Related Documents" section of the Grants.gov posting.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, centers on two closely related goals: first, evaluating how vegetation responds to managed disturbance, and second, validating the quality of vegetative cover associated with the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). In practical terms, this kind of work commonly supports land management and conservation decision-making by examining how intentional disturbances (for example, prescribed fire, grazing treatments, mowing, or other habitat management actions, depending on the study design described in the related documentation) influence plant communities over time. The CRP component indicates an emphasis on assessing whether enrolled lands are achieving desired cover conditions and conservation outcomes, which can include measures such as vegetation structure, species composition, habitat suitability, or other indicators of "cover quality." The notice itself does not provide methodological details, deliverables, or study locations in the text shown, and directs readers to consult the linked documentation for the complete scope.
Administratively, the listing identifies the funding instrument as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as collaboration on study design, data standards, field protocols, analysis approaches, or reporting. The opportunity is categorized on Grants.gov under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the activity category, with a note that clarification would be in the associated explanation field on the posting. The applicable CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS activities.
In terms of funding and scale, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $27,000 and anticipates one award. The posting shows a creation date of August 16, 2018 and an original closing date of August 31, 2018, which in the context of a notice of intent to award typically functions more as an administrative timeline for the public posting rather than a competitive application deadline. Eligibility is shown as "Others," with the expectation that the "Additional Information on Eligibility" field (and the related documents) would clarify who the intended recipient is and why the award is proceeding without full and open competition.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a transparency notice for a planned, single-recipient cooperative agreement by USGS to support research or monitoring work on vegetation outcomes following managed disturbance and to verify CRP cover quality, rather than a call inviting new applications from the public. For anyone trying to understand the precise objectives, selection rationale, recipient identity, and technical requirements, the authoritative source would be the posting's related documents referenced in the notice.Apply for USGS 18 FAC 4885
