Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FAC 0376
The "Extremes to Ex-Streams: Ecological Drought Adaptation Synthesis Project" funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: USGS 17 FAC 0376) is a discretionary, non-competitive cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It was posted on August 3, 2017, with an original application deadline of August 13, 2017. The program is listed under CFDA 15.808, which aligns it with USGS-related assistance and research support activities. In practical terms, this opportunity is structured to support a specific project or partner relationship rather than open competition among a broad pool of applicants, which is what the "non-competitive" label signals.
The project title indicates a focus on ecological drought and the effects of extreme conditions on streams and stream-dependent ecosystems, with an emphasis on adaptation and synthesis. A "synthesis project" typically means the work is meant to pull together existing scientific findings, datasets, and lessons learned across studies or regions, rather than funding large amounts of new field collection from scratch. The phrase "Extremes to Ex-Streams" suggests attention to how extreme climate or hydrologic events can push stream systems toward drying, intermittency, or loss of flow, and what ecological and management strategies might help ecosystems and resource managers respond. While the summary information provided does not describe specific tasks or deliverables, the combination of "ecological drought adaptation" and "synthesis" strongly implies integrative analysis, consolidation of current science, and translation of findings into forms that support planning or decision-making.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. Cooperative agreements are used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on technical direction, shared development of products, coordination with other federal efforts, or participation in project planning and review. This format is common for projects that are closely tied to agency science priorities, require coordination across programs, or involve specialized expertise where the agency and recipient work side-by-side. Because the opportunity is explicitly non-competitive, it likely reflects an intent to fund a particular organization, team, or partnership identified in advance as best positioned to carry out the work, rather than running an open call for proposals.
Funding is relatively modest and capped at an award ceiling of $66,808, with one expected award. This budget level suggests a focused effort such as a targeted synthesis report, workshop-driven synthesis, dataset integration, literature review with structured analysis, development of conceptual frameworks, or decision-support oriented synthesis products, rather than a multi-year, large-scale research program. The short turnaround between the posting date and the closing date (about 10 days) also fits the pattern of a non-competitive action where an invited or pre-identified recipient is expected to submit materials within a brief window.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with a note to consult additional eligibility details (not included in the excerpt). In many federal listings, "Others" can include non-federal entities such as universities, nonprofits, research institutes, state or local partners, or other qualified organizations, depending on the agency's specific statement of eligibility. The listing does not provide those details here, but the non-competitive nature still indicates the main issue is typically whether the intended recipient fits the stated eligibility category and can meet administrative requirements, not whether they can outscore other applicants.
In summary, this USGS opportunity is a single-award, non-competitive cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808, created to support a drought-focused ecological synthesis effort tied to stream systems and adaptation to extremes. It carries a maximum federal funding amount of $66,808, was announced in early August 2017, and closed in mid-August 2017. The cooperative agreement structure indicates active collaboration with USGS during the project, and the synthesis framing implies deliverables aimed at integrating existing science to inform understanding and adaptation strategies for drought impacts on stream ecosystems.Apply for USGS 17 FAC 0376
