Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FAC 0222
This funding notice is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior, for a project titled "Status and Trends of Fish Community Downstream of Glen Canyon Dam." It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 18 FAC 0222 and was created on July 10, 2018, with an original closing date of July 23, 2018. The opportunity sits in the "Other" opportunity category and is intended to be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or execution rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction.
The activity focus is Natural Resources (CFDA 15.808), and the content of the title indicates the work centers on monitoring and evaluating the condition of the fish community in the Colorado River downstream of Glen Canyon Dam. While the notice text provided here does not include technical tasks, the title suggests a status-and-trends effort, which typically involves field sampling and long-term monitoring to understand changes in species composition, abundance, distribution, recruitment, and broader community dynamics over time. In practical terms, projects like this often support resource management decisions related to dam operations and downstream ecosystem outcomes, including the balance between native and non-native fish species and how flow regimes and habitat conditions may be influencing the fish assemblage.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating the award is intended for a state agency or an entity acting on behalf of a state government, rather than universities, nonprofits, or private organizations. The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $210,000, meaning the maximum planned federal funding for this intended award is up to that amount. The short window between the creation date and the closing date is consistent with a Notice of Intent to Award, which often signals the agency has already identified an intended recipient and is completing required public posting steps.
Overall, this is a targeted cooperative agreement opportunity designed to support a specific, management-relevant scientific monitoring effort downstream of Glen Canyon Dam, with funding capped at $210,000, one expected recipient, and eligibility restricted to state government applicants.Apply for USGS 18 FAC 0222
