Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00024
The Experienced Services Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G23AS00024) is a discretionary, five-year cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Department of the Interior. It is framed as a single, long-term award vehicle intended to support program activities that help USGS carry out its public service mission, with funding authority tied to federal appropriations and infrastructure legislation, including the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103, Division G, Section 111) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58). The activity category is Employment, Labor and Training (CFDA 15.072), signaling that the program is structured around workforce-related support and experienced-worker engagement rather than a traditional research-only grant.
The scope of work is broad in terms of the legal authorities that can underpin supported activities, reflecting the wide range of USGS responsibilities. The notice cites multiple statutes that authorize USGS and related Interior missions, including the USGS Organic Act of March 3, 1879; the National Climate Program Act of 1978; the Energy Policy Act of 1992; the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916; the Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970; the Water Resources Development Act of 1992; and the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996. In practical terms, this means the cooperative agreement can support services and projects connected to core federal priorities such as earth and environmental science, climate-related work, energy and minerals policy support, water resources, and drinking water protection, depending on USGS program needs. The announcement also notes that a more extensive list of authorizations is available through the USGS Office of Budget, Planning and Integration (BPI), reinforcing that the program can span multiple mission areas.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be qualified nonprofit organizations recognized as 501(c)(3) under the Internal Revenue Code (specifically, nonprofits other than institutions of higher education are listed), and they must also be designated by the Secretary of Labor as eligible to receive funds under Title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965. This Title V requirement is central to the opportunity and effectively limits applicants to organizations that already participate in or are formally approved for the Older Americans Act Title V framework. The notice emphasizes that proof of this eligibility must be submitted with the application, making documentation a mandatory component rather than an optional attachment.
From an administrative standpoint, the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during performance, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The opportunity originally listed a closing date of February 23, 2023, and it was created on September 20, 2022. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify the number of expected awards, which usually means the ceiling and award count are either determined outside the public synopsis, vary by tasking over time, or are handled through internal budgeting and negotiation under the cooperative agreement structure. Overall, the opportunity is best read as a long-duration partnership mechanism for USGS to obtain experienced services through an eligible nonprofit intermediary aligned with the Older Americans Act Title V program requirements, supported by appropriations and infrastructure-related authorities.Apply for G23AS00024
