Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FA 0109
This grant opportunity is a discretionary, non-competitive cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a bureau within the Department of the Interior. The funding opportunity is titled "Non-Competitive Cooperative Agreement" and is identified by Funding Opportunity Number USGS 18 FA 0109. The opportunity was created on April 12, 2018, and had an original closing date of April 22, 2018, indicating a short application window consistent with actions that are often targeted to a specific partner, a specific project need, or a time-sensitive program objective.
The instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. In federal assistance terms, that generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as collaborating on technical direction, data standards, project planning, deliverables, or review of results. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity category, which suggests it does not fit neatly into more common categories like health, education, or environment in the listing itself, even though USGS work frequently relates to natural resources, hazards, mapping, water, ecosystems, and earth science.
This opportunity is explicitly described as non-competitive. That designation typically means the award is not intended to be competed openly among a broad field of applicants; instead, it may be issued to a particular eligible recipient or a narrow set of recipients based on statutory authority, a unique capability, continuation needs, or a pre-existing relationship that supports the program goals. The listing notes "Eligible Applicants: Others," which is a broad category used on federal opportunity postings and can include entities outside the standard buckets (such as state/local governments, tribes, universities, or nonprofits) depending on the specific authority and the agency's intent. In practice, for non-competitive cooperative agreements, eligibility is often effectively limited by the purpose and circumstances described in the full announcement package or by the agency's identified partner.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $411,900, which indicates the maximum anticipated federal funding for an award under this announcement. The field for expected number of awards is present but not populated in the provided data, so the posting does not specify how many awards were planned. The assistance listing also includes a CFDA number of 15.808 (a federal assistance program identifier historically used for USGS-related assistance programs), which helps categorize the funding under a recognized USGS assistance program for reporting and compliance purposes.
The description provided in the source data is minimal and repeats the title, so the posting does not include project-specific details such as objectives, required deliverables, period of performance, cost share requirements, or evaluation criteria in the snippet provided. For a non-competitive cooperative agreement, those details are often spelled out in the full notice of funding opportunity attachments or in associated documentation shared with the intended recipient. Based on what is available here, the key takeaways are that this was a USGS discretionary assistance action, structured as a cooperative agreement with anticipated agency involvement, non-competitive in nature, and capped at $411,900, with a posting and close-out timeline occurring in April 2018.Apply for USGS 18 FA 0109
