Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0332
This opportunity is a US Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Measurement of nutrient stoichiometry for harmful and nuisance algal growth." The key point is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that USGS plans to fund a specific project without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified the intended recipient or partner and is documenting that decision publicly.
The funding mechanism listed is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination on study design, methods, data management, or interpretation). The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the activity category, implying it does not fit neatly into standard research or infrastructure labels and that more context would be contained in the official notice and any related documents.
The total anticipated funding amount is capped at $22,861 (the award ceiling), and USGS expects to make one award. The opportunity was created on August 28, 2019, with an original closing date of August 30, 2019, which aligns with the fact that this is primarily a notice posting rather than a competitive window for submitting proposals. The CFDA number associated with it is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS activities and funding programs.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility details would be in the full announcement text or related documentation. In practice, for notices like this, the eligibility language is less relevant to the general public because the award is not being competed; the intended recipient is typically defined or implied in the attached Notice of Intent and supporting justification.
In terms of subject matter, the project focus on "nutrient stoichiometry" points to studying the balance and ratios of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus (and sometimes carbon, silica, and micronutrients) that influence when, where, and how harmful algal blooms (HABs) or nuisance algal growth occur. Understanding nutrient stoichiometry is a common approach in water-quality and aquatic ecosystem science because algae do not respond only to total nutrient amounts; they also respond to nutrient proportions, timing of nutrient inputs, and nutrient forms. The practical aim of work like this is often to improve monitoring, prediction, and management decisions for lakes, reservoirs, rivers, or coastal systems affected by algal overgrowth that can harm ecosystems, drinking water supplies, recreation, fisheries, and local economies.
Finally, the listing directs readers to consult the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for the complete justification and details, and it points to the Grants.gov support resources for navigation or general grants information. The overall takeaway is that this posting is informational and administrative: USGS is announcing its intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a targeted scientific project related to nutrient ratios and harmful or nuisance algal growth.Apply for USGS 19 FAC 0332

This is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Department of the Interior Notice of Intent to Award for the project titled "Measurement of nutrient stoichiometry for harmful and nuisance algal growth." It is an informational public notice that USGS plans to fund a specific project without full and open competition.
Is this an open grant solicitation or a request for applications?
No. The posting is explicitly not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. It does not represent a competitive funding opportunity where multiple applicants submit proposals for review.
What does "Notice of Intent to Award" mean?
It means USGS is publicly documenting that it intends to make an award for this project, typically to an already identified recipient or partner, and that the award will be made without full and open competition.
Can I apply for this opportunity through Grants.gov?
Based on the information provided, this notice is not a competitive opportunity and is not requesting applications. The intent is to fund a specific project as a single, non-competitive award.
Why is the competition not "full and open"?
The notice indicates USGS plans to fund the project without full and open competition, which generally means an intended recipient or partner has already been identified and the agency is publicly documenting that decision.
How many awards does USGS expect to make under this notice?
USGS expects to make one award.
What is the maximum funding amount available?
The total anticipated funding amount is capped at $22,861 (the award ceiling).
What type of funding instrument will be used?
The funding mechanism listed is a Cooperative Agreement.
What does a Cooperative Agreement imply about USGS involvement?
A Cooperative Agreement generally indicates USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period. Examples can include coordination on study design, methods, data management, or interpretation of results.
What is the project title and focus area?
The project is titled "Measurement of nutrient stoichiometry for harmful and nuisance algal growth." The focus is on nutrient stoichiometry, meaning the balance and ratios of nutrients that can influence harmful algal blooms (HABs) and nuisance algal growth.
What is nutrient stoichiometry in the context of algal growth?
In this context, nutrient stoichiometry refers to the ratios and balance of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus (and sometimes carbon, silica, and micronutrients) that affect when, where, and how algae grow. It reflects the idea that algae respond not only to how much nutrient is present, but also to nutrient proportions, timing of inputs, and nutrient forms.
Why study nutrient ratios instead of only total nutrient amounts?
The notice highlights that algae do not respond only to total nutrient amounts. They can also respond to nutrient proportions, timing of nutrient inputs, and nutrient forms. Measuring and understanding these ratios can support more effective monitoring, prediction, and management decisions related to algal overgrowth.
What problems are associated with harmful or nuisance algal growth?
The notice describes that algal overgrowth can harm ecosystems, drinking water supplies, recreation, fisheries, and local economies. Work like this is often aimed at improving understanding to support decisions in affected water bodies.
What kinds of water bodies might this work be relevant to?
The notice indicates the practical aim of this type of work often relates to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, or coastal systems affected by algal overgrowth.
What is the opportunity category and activity category?
Both the opportunity category and activity category are listed as "Other," indicating the posting does not fit neatly into standard labels and that additional context would be found in the official notice and related documents.
What is the CFDA number for this opportunity and what does it relate to?
The CFDA number associated with this notice is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS activities and funding programs.
Who is eligible to receive this award?

What are the key dates listed on the posting?
The opportunity was created on August 28, 2019, and the original closing date is August 30, 2019. The short window aligns with the administrative nature of a notice posting rather than a competitive application period.
Where can I find the complete details and justification for this notice?
The listing directs readers to consult the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for the complete justification and additional details.
What should I do if I need help navigating Grants.gov?
The notice points to Grants.gov support resources for navigation help or general grants information.
What is the main takeaway for someone looking for open funding opportunities?
The main takeaway is that this posting is informational and administrative. It announces USGS intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a targeted scientific project, rather than inviting proposals from the public.
