Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FAC 4886
This notice is a federal government funding announcement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), part of the Department of the Interior, titled "Notice of Intent Evaluation of new protocols for establishing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) on sand prairies across the Southern Plains region." It was created on September 5, 2018, and lists an original closing date of September 19, 2018. The opportunity number is USGS 18 FAC 4886, and it is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, which typically signals a specialized purpose that does not fit neatly into standard program labels.
The most important feature of this announcement is that it is not an open call for applications. The text explicitly states it is a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and "not a request for applications." In practical terms, this means USGS is publishing the notice to inform the public that it intends to make an award without competition, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. Federal agencies often post these notices to satisfy transparency requirements when they plan to issue a sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive award for a specific set of project activities.
The project focus, as indicated by the title, is the evaluation of new protocols for establishing Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) practices on sand prairie habitats across the Southern Plains region. CREP is generally associated with conservation efforts that support land retirement or habitat improvement on eligible lands through partnerships and targeted environmental goals. In this case, the emphasis is on sand prairies, which are distinctive grassland systems often characterized by sandy soils, unique plant communities, and specific management needs. The wording suggests the funded work would assess or test improved methods, procedures, or implementation approaches ("new protocols") for establishing CREP-related conservation actions in that particular ecological context.
The funding instrument type is listed as a grant, with an award ceiling of $35,000 and an expectation of one award. That combination strongly suggests a small, focused project rather than a large multi-year program. Because the agency signals one expected award and a noncompetitive intent, the funding is likely directed to a specific partner organization already identified by USGS, such as a university, research institution, nonprofit, or other entity capable of carrying out the technical evaluation work described. The eligibility field is broadly labeled as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, which is common in notices where the intended recipient may fall outside more typical categories or where eligibility is defined narrowly for the planned recipient.
The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number provided is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS-related assistance listings and indicates the general federal assistance program area under which the grant would be issued. Administrative details like the CFDA number, opportunity number, and dates help the public track the action and understand the authority under which the award is made, even though the announcement is not inviting new submissions.
In short, this opportunity is a public notice that USGS planned to issue a single, noncompetitive grant (up to $35,000) tied to evaluating and refining protocols for implementing CREP conservation practices on sand prairie ecosystems in the Southern Plains. It functions more like a transparency and compliance posting than a competitive grant opportunity, meaning interested parties generally would not be able to apply through this announcement because the agency is not requesting applications.Apply for USGS 18 FAC 4886
