Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0119
The Sesquicentennial of the Colorado River Exploring Expedition (SCREE) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) funding notice published by the Department of the Interior to announce an intended award connected to activities commemorating the 150th anniversary (sesquicentennial) of the Colorado River Exploring Expedition. The listing is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is meant to inform the public that USGS plans to fund a specific project rather than invite new proposals from the general public.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications. USGS indicates the work will be supported without "full and open competition," which typically means the agency plans to make a sole-source or otherwise non-competitive award to a particular recipient that has already been identified. In other words, the opportunity is posted for transparency and public record, not as an open competitive grant where multiple applicants submit proposals for consideration.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the period of performance (for example, collaboration, coordination, or shared responsibilities), rather than a more hands-off grant arrangement. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, with the note that additional clarification would be found in the full notice materials referenced under the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov.
Administratively, the opportunity number is USGS 19 FAC 0119, and it is associated with CFDA (now often referred to through SAM/Assistance Listing terminology) number 15.808. The posting shows an award ceiling of $39,000 and an expectation of one award, reinforcing that this is a single, defined funding action rather than a broad program competition. The creation date listed is April 15, 2019, with an original closing date of April 17, 2019, which is consistent with brief posting windows commonly used for intent-to-award notices since applications are not being solicited.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the understanding that the detailed eligibility context would be described in the additional eligibility text or the attached notice documentation. Because the announcement is non-competitive and not open for applications, the eligibility label mainly serves as a formal data field rather than an invitation for prospective applicants to apply.
For anyone trying to understand the specifics of the planned activities, deliverables, partner organization, or the justification for limiting competition, the notice itself directs readers to consult the "Related Documents" link on the Grants.gov posting. The listing also points users to the general Grants.gov "Support" resources for navigation and general grant information, though in this case those resources are not intended to guide an application submission since no applications are being accepted.Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0119
