Opportunity Information: Apply for R22AS00348
The Water Conservation Field Services Program Financial Assistance for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 (Funding Opportunity Number R22AS00348) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.530 (Natural Resources). The program is tied to the authority provided in Public Law 111-11, Section 9502, and is focused on supporting water conservation efforts through Reclamation's field-based services in a specific service area.
This funding opportunity is aimed at organizations that have direct responsibility for delivering water or power and that operate within the geographic area served by the Upper Colorado Basin Office. Eligible applicants are specifically described as states, tribes, irrigation districts, water districts, or other organizations that possess water or power delivery authority. In practical terms, the key eligibility tests are (1) being an entity with the legal and operational authority to deliver water and/or power, and (2) being located within the Upper Colorado Basin Office service area, as defined by the program. The notice indicates that a map (referenced as Appendix A in the NOFO) is provided to clarify the qualifying geographic boundaries.
The opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls within the natural resources activity category, which generally signals projects that conserve water supplies, improve water management, or enhance the efficiency and reliability of water delivery systems. The notice itself points readers to an attachment for the full program description and requirements, meaning that the detailed scope of eligible activities, application components, and evaluation criteria are laid out in the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity rather than fully reproduced in the short listing.
From a funding perspective, the listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $100,000 per award. The posting does not clearly specify how many total awards will be made (the "Expected Awards" field is blank in the source data), so the number of funded projects may vary based on available appropriations, application volume, and program priorities during the fiscal years covered. The original application closing date shown is May 31, 2023, and the opportunity record indicates it was created on June 24, 2022, which lines up with the FY 2022 and FY 2023 time window referenced in the title.
Overall, this is a Bureau of Reclamation grant opportunity for eligible water- and power-delivery entities in the Upper Colorado Basin Office area to pursue water conservation-related work, with awards up to $100,000, and with full details (including the mapped service area and any additional eligibility or project requirements) provided in the attached NOFO materials.Apply for R22AS00348
