Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0133
This funding opportunity, titled "Mapping the Estuarine Turbidity Maximum in the Low Salinity Zone along the Sacramento River from Rio Vista to Benicia Bridge," is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) grant action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. The project focus is on mapping the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) within the low salinity zone of the Sacramento River, specifically across the reach from Rio Vista to the Benicia Bridge. In practical terms, the ETM is the area in an estuary where suspended sediment concentrations tend to peak due to the interaction of river flow, tidal mixing, salinity gradients, and sediment dynamics. Mapping where this zone forms, how it shifts, and what conditions drive it can be important for understanding sediment transport, water quality, and habitat conditions in the estuarine system.
The opportunity is listed as a Notice of Intent (NOI), with key details and full requirements referenced as being contained in the official application package. That phrasing usually indicates the public listing is more of a formal posting than a full narrative solicitation, and that prospective applicants are expected to consult the attached package for the specific scope of work, required deliverables, technical approach expectations, reporting needs, and submission instructions. The opportunity category is labeled "Other," and the funding activity category is also "Other," with clarification expected in the package rather than in the brief synopsis.
Funding would be provided through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement typically means USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on technical decisions, coordinating data collection plans, aligning methods with agency standards, or participating in interpretation and dissemination of results. The listing indicates a single anticipated award, suggesting this is likely a targeted effort intended for a specific project need rather than a broad competitive program making multiple awards.
Financially, the award ceiling is $160,000, with one expected award. The opportunity identification number is USGS 19 FAC 0133, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which corresponds to USGS research and data-related assistance programs. The posting was created on September 12, 2019, with an original closing date of September 20, 2019, indicating a short application window. That short turnaround can be consistent with time-sensitive field needs, a narrowly scoped cooperative project, or an NOI process where applicants may already be in communication with the agency and the formal posting serves as an administrative requirement.
Eligibility is broadly summarized as "Others," with additional eligibility details again deferred to the package. In federal listings, this usually means eligibility could include certain non-federal entities such as universities, nonprofits, research institutions, state or local governments, tribal governments, or other qualified organizations, but the precise eligible applicant types and any restrictions (for example, geographic, partnership, or technical capability requirements) would be specified in the full solicitation package.
Overall, the listing describes a USGS-supported, cooperative research and mapping effort aimed at characterizing the ETM in the Sacramento River low salinity zone between Rio Vista and the Benicia Bridge, with up to $160,000 available for one award and the critical submission and technical requirements contained in the attached NOI package rather than in the brief public synopsis.Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0133
