Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FA 0363
This Notice of Intent (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 18 FA 0363) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) focused on natural resources work. The opportunity is framed as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, often through collaboration, coordination, and shared responsibilities during performance.
The specific project described is "Collaborative Work Space Frostburg State University," indicating the intended scope centers on establishing, supporting, or operating a collaborative workspace arrangement connected to Frostburg State University. While the short public description does not spell out detailed tasks or outcomes, the title suggests investment in infrastructure, facilities, or program support that enables joint work among partners (such as university researchers, agency staff, or other stakeholders) on natural resource-related activities.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which places this opportunity squarely within the public university system category and signals that the applicant pool is intentionally narrow. Frostburg State University is explicitly named in the project description, and the listing anticipates a single award, which strongly implies this is intended for one specific recipient rather than an open, competitive solicitation with multiple winners.
The funding ceiling is listed as $320,744, with an expected number of awards equal to 1, meaning the maximum anticipated federal funding for the lone award is up to that amount. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.808 (now commonly referenced within Assistance Listings), which corresponds to USGS-related assistance activities in the natural resources domain.
The timeline is short: it was created on September 12, 2018, with an original closing date of September 23, 2018. That roughly 11-day window is consistent with a notice of intent or a targeted announcement where the agency already has a specific collaborative purpose and an intended partner, and the posting serves as a formal notice rather than a broad call for proposals.
In practical terms, the opportunity can be summarized as a USGS cooperative agreement in the natural resources area, intended for a public/state university, to support a collaborative workspace initiative tied to Frostburg State University, with up to $320,744 available for a single anticipated award and a brief application window in September 2018.Apply for USGS 18 FA 0363
