Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0061
This opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), identified as Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FA 0061 and titled "Notice of Intent." The funding activity area is natural resources, and it is listed under CFDA 15.808. Based on the description provided, the focus is tied to the NAS Ocean Studies Board, which suggests the award is intended to support work connected to the National Academies of Sciences (NAS) Ocean Studies Board and its ocean and marine science policy or assessment activities, as aligned with USGS mission needs.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. That means the applicant must be a qualifying charitable nonprofit organization and cannot be a university or college applying in its capacity as an educational institution. The opportunity is structured as a grant (not a contract), which generally implies USGS expects the recipient to carry out a defined public-purpose project rather than provide routine procurement services.
The posting timeline indicates the opportunity was created on April 11, 2019, with an original closing date of April 25, 2019, giving roughly a two-week window between announcement and deadline. The award ceiling is $235,000, and USGS anticipated making one award. In practical terms, that points to a single, targeted project rather than a broad, competitive multi-award program. With only one expected award and a relatively short application window, opportunities like this are often aimed at a specific type of effort or a narrowly defined recipient community that is already positioned to execute the proposed work.
Financially, the maximum federal funding available for the project is capped at $235,000. Because only one award was expected, applicants would typically propose a complete project budget and scope that can be accomplished within that limit, including any direct costs and allowable indirect costs, consistent with federal grant cost principles and USGS terms. The opportunity category being "discretionary" indicates USGS retains decision-making flexibility in selecting the recipient and shaping the final award.
In summary, this is a USGS natural resources discretionary grant opportunity, connected to the NAS Ocean Studies Board, offering up to $235,000 for a single award to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit (excluding higher education institutions), with the application window running from mid-April 2019 to late April 2019.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0061
