Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0421
The Notice of Intent titled "Modeling of Sea Cliff Retreat" (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FAC 0421) is a public notification from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that it plans to fund a specific research effort through a cooperative agreement. The key point is that this posting is not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it is meant to document that USGS intends to move forward with an award to support planned project activities without full and open competitive solicitation, which is sometimes done when there is a clear justification for a particular recipient, capability, or continuity of work.
The opportunity falls under the "Other" opportunity category, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as technical collaboration, shared oversight, data coordination, or joint development of methods and deliverables, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal agency participation. The activity category is science and technology and other research and development, aligning the work with applied scientific research relevant to coastal processes and hazard assessment.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This suggests the intended recipient is likely a state university or similar public academic institution with expertise in coastal geomorphology, modeling, remote sensing, or related disciplines necessary for analyzing and forecasting sea cliff retreat. The listing includes CFDA number 15.808, which is associated with USGS research and related assistance programs.
In terms of funding scale and scope, the notice indicates an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $195,000. The posting was created on September 6, 2019, with an original closing date of September 16, 2019. In the context of a notice of intent, that "closing date" functions more as an administrative posting window on Grants.gov rather than a deadline for proposals, since applications are not being solicited.
The short description provided does not spell out technical tasks, study locations, or specific deliverables, but the title indicates the work centers on modeling sea cliff retreat. In practical terms, projects with this focus often involve analyzing drivers of coastal erosion and cliff instability, such as wave energy, sea level rise, storm impacts, precipitation and groundwater effects, lithology and geologic structure, and human alterations to the coastline. Modeling efforts may combine observational datasets (for example, historical shoreline and cliff-edge positions, lidar and photogrammetry, field measurements, and satellite imagery) with numerical or statistical approaches to estimate retreat rates, identify hotspots, and improve forecasts of future cliff change under different scenarios. Because the notice points readers to "Related Documents" for complete details, the full technical statement of work, partnering arrangement, and justification for noncompetitive award would be expected there.
Overall, this is best understood as a transparency and compliance posting: USGS is signaling its intention to make one cooperative agreement award, up to $195,000, to an eligible public higher-education institution to support research and development activities related to modeling sea cliff retreat, with additional specifics available in the supporting documents linked within the Grants.gov listing.Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0421
