Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR CGB 20 N012
This funding opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (U.S. Department of the Interior) notice of intent to make a grant award to the University of California, Davis for a project titled "Producing Novel Genome-Level Resources for Vernal Pool Crustaceans of Conservation Concern in California." The work is being supported under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq., as amended), which is commonly used to authorize activities that help conserve fish and wildlife resources affected by federal water projects. The focus here is on California vernal pool crustaceans that are federally listed and have been impacted by the Central Valley Project, with the aim of generating new genome-scale genetic resources that can directly support conservation and recovery planning.
The planned award amount is estimated at $368,941.35 (with an award ceiling listed as $368,941). The opportunity is categorized as a continuation grant in the natural resources activity area (CFDA 15.564). Eligible applicants are identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the intended recipient named in the announcement is UC Davis. The opportunity is associated with Funding Opportunity Number BOR-CGB-20-N012, created May 14, 2020, with an original closing date of May 28, 2020.
Programmatically, the project is described as producing genetic information for two species of federally listed vernal pool invertebrates. While the notice does not list the species names in the text provided, it makes clear that the deliverable is genome-level or genome-scale data (meaning more detailed and comprehensive than basic genetic markers). The practical purpose of these data is to improve the scientific foundation for conservation decisions, such as understanding population structure, genetic diversity, connectivity between populations, and other factors that can influence recovery actions and long-term species viability.
Administratively, this notice is not a competitive solicitation. It explicitly states that it is not a request for proposals and that the government has discretion to make a noncompetitive financial assistance award based on an internal policy reference (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4)(2)). In other words, the Bureau of Reclamation is announcing its intention to award directly to UC Davis rather than opening the work up to competition. For anyone needing clarification about the announcement, the listed grants management contact is Thelma Mosley, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at tmosley@usbr.gov.Apply for BOR CGB 20 N012
