Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR GP 17 N007
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Notice of Intent to Award Three Lakes Peer Review" (Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 17 N007) is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It was created on August 23, 2017, and carried an original closing date of September 6, 2017. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 15.560 and falls within the Natural Resources activity category. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $99,024 and an expectation of one award.
This announcement is specifically a notice of intent to make an award to Portland State University rather than an open, competitive solicitation. The purpose of the proposed award is to fund an external peer review of water quality and hydrologic models associated with the Three Lakes system in Grand County, Colorado. The Three Lakes system referenced in the notice consists of Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Reservoir, and Granby Reservoir. In practical terms, the work would involve independent experts evaluating the existing technical models used to simulate or predict hydrologic behavior (such as inflows, outflows, storage, and circulation) and water quality conditions (such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, algae dynamics, or related parameters) across this connected lake and reservoir network.
Because it is an external peer review, the project focus is not on building new infrastructure or necessarily creating an entirely new modeling framework from scratch, but on scrutinizing the credibility, assumptions, calibration approaches, data inputs, and overall suitability of the models being used for decision-making. Peer review efforts like this typically assess whether the modeling methods are scientifically sound, whether uncertainty and sensitivity are handled appropriately, whether the models are adequately validated against observed field data, and whether the conclusions drawn from model outputs are supported by the technical evidence. The intent is to strengthen confidence in the models, identify limitations, and recommend improvements so that future management actions related to the Three Lakes system are informed by reliable analyses.
Eligibility is indicated as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the original posting's additional eligibility information, but the notice itself makes clear that the intended recipient is Portland State University and that only one award was anticipated. Overall, the grant supports a targeted, technical review effort aimed at improving the scientific and operational foundation for managing water resources and water quality in a high-value Colorado lake and reservoir system.Apply for BOR GP 17 N007
