Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 16 FA 0452
The grant opportunity titled "Rapid Response to Possible Metals Contamination from Legacy Mines in the Patagonia Mountains Region" is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0452. The assistance mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the technical or scientific direction of the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The opportunity is categorized under an "Other" funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which reflects USGS assistance programs.
This particular effort is described as non-competitive and specifically tied to the University of Arizona, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals broadly from multiple applicants and instead intends to fund this named partner for the stated work. The eligible applicant category listed is private institutions of higher education, aligning with the University of Arizona partnership noted in the description. The overall project scope, as stated, focuses on a rapid response capability related to possible metals contamination associated with legacy mines in the Patagonia Mountains region. In practical terms, that phrasing points to time-sensitive scientific support to evaluate, characterize, or help inform response actions when there are indications of metal-related environmental impacts stemming from historic mining sites.
The description also connects this work to broader, related USGS efforts referenced as the "Future Mineral Environmental Emergency Response" and "Cuba Mineral Resources Assessment" projects, with activity occurring across fiscal years 2017 and 2018. While the notice does not provide methodological details, the linkage suggests the award supports USGS-aligned mineral and environmental assessment capabilities, potentially including field sampling and analysis, environmental monitoring, data synthesis, and rapid delivery of information needed for decision-making when contamination concerns emerge.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of September 28, 2016, and a total award ceiling of $73,000. The posting was created on September 19, 2016. The notice does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided data, but the non-competitive designation and named partner strongly imply a single award intended for the University of Arizona to carry out the described rapid-response and assessment-related work in coordination with the USGS.Apply for USGS 16 FA 0452
