Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0078
This Notice of Intent (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 17 FA 0078) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), focused on natural resources work related to an "Accelerating Aquifer Storage and Recovery Study" in partnership with the National Centre for Research and Development and the Higher Council for Science and Technology. The opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The posting was created on March 20, 2017, with an original closing date of April 3, 2017, indicating a short application window typical of notices tied to a specific collaboration or time-sensitive work plan.
The funding level is modest and targeted: the award ceiling is $120,000, and the USGS anticipated making one award. In practice, that suggests the work is likely scoped for a single implementing partner and a defined set of research or technical tasks rather than a broad competitive program with multiple awards. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS research and data activities that commonly include scientific investigations, monitoring, assessments, and applied studies supporting water and environmental decision-making.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility text in the full announcement for specifics. That phrasing often signals that eligibility may be limited or specialized (for example, to a particular institution, a specific type of organization, or a named collaborating entity) rather than open to all universities, nonprofits, or state and local governments. Given the title referencing the National Centre for Research and Development and the Higher Council for Science and Technology, the intent may be to support a particular international or institutional partnership connected to aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) work, though the exact eligible applicant category would be clarified only in the full eligibility section of the notice.
Programmatically, the core subject is aquifer storage and recovery, a water-resources strategy where water is injected or otherwise stored in an aquifer during times of surplus and later recovered for use during shortages. Studies in this area often involve hydrogeologic characterization, assessment of storage capacity and recovery efficiency, water-quality compatibility and geochemical interactions, evaluation of operational and engineering considerations, and development or refinement of models to predict system performance under various pumping and recharge scenarios. An "accelerating" ASR study title suggests a focus on improving the pace or effectiveness of ASR evaluation, deployment, or scaling, potentially by refining methods, developing decision-support tools, or streamlining monitoring and analysis approaches.
Overall, the opportunity is best read as a narrowly scoped, single-award cooperative agreement supporting applied research or technical assessment on ASR, administered by the USGS under CFDA 15.808, with up to $120,000 available and a deadline in early April 2017.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0078
