About this program
The Bureau of Reclamation (Department of the Interior) funds research and data collection supporting implementation of the Truckee River Operating Agreement (TROA) and the Newlands Project Operating Criteria and Procedures (OCAP) under Assistance Listing 15.583, with the most recent grant award disbursed in August 2025.
Program activity is minimal. One Project Grant of $41 thousand was awarded in August 2025; the portfolio shows one award in 2025 with no prior documented activity. No recent grant opportunities are currently posted. Awards are structured as Project Grants and fund one- to five-year project periods, fully funded at the time of award.
The program supports applied research and data collection directly tied to water resource management in the Truckee-Carson basins. The single recent award funded geophysical survey work to identify and quantify seepage losses in the Truckee Canal, a 31-mile unlined earthen conveyance that diverts water from the Truckee River to irrigation districts in Nevada. The work targets subsurface features contributing to seepage inefficiencies that account for 15 to 50 percent of diverted volumes, with deliverables including geophysical survey data and interpretative reports to improve conveyance efficiency and water conservation.
Eligible applicants include state and local agencies, public and private nonprofit institutions, federally recognized Indian Tribal governments, educational and scientific organizations, and other public and private institutions. Awards are intended to benefit those affected by TROA and OCAP implementation.
Funding concentration is singular: the Bureau of Reclamation is the sole identified funder under the program. Given the minimal recent award activity (one award of $41 thousand in the past year) and the absence of a posted opportunity, this program appears to operate on an irregular or case-specific solicitation basis rather than on an annual competitive cycle. Prospective applicants should contact the Bureau of Reclamation directly to determine current funding intent and solicitation timing.
