Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 19 N012
The Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Early Detection Monitoring Capacity Building opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR PN 19 N012) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary grant notice tied to natural resources work under CFDA 15.517. The key point is that this posting is not a request for applications and should not be read as an open call for proposals. Instead, it functions as a public notice stating that the Bureau of Reclamation intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, which typically means the agency has identified a particular recipient or a limited set of recipients and is documenting its intent to proceed through a non-competitive award process.
As described by the title, the focus of the funded work is aquatic invasive species early detection monitoring and building capacity to do that monitoring more effectively. In practice, capacity building in this context often refers to strengthening an organization or region's ability to detect invasive species quickly through improved monitoring plans, staff training, standardized field protocols, coordination among partners, data management systems, sampling equipment, and reporting workflows. Early detection is a common priority in invasive species management because finding a new infestation early can make containment or eradication more feasible and far less expensive than responding after the species becomes established and spreads.
The opportunity is categorized as a grant, with an award ceiling listed at $90,000. The notice lists "Unrestricted" eligible applicants, but because the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and indicates the intent to fund without full and open competition, the eligibility statement does not function the way it would in a competitive funding announcement. The original closing date is shown as May 15, 2019, and the creation date is May 1, 2019, which signals that this was a time-bounded public notice tied to an intended award action during that period rather than an ongoing or annually recurring competition.
Overall, this notice should be interpreted as a transparency step: the Bureau of Reclamation is communicating that it plans to support AIS early detection monitoring capacity building activities via a non-competitive discretionary grant under its natural resources authorities, with up to $90,000 available for the intended project action, rather than soliciting applications from the public.Apply for BOR PN 19 N012
