Opportunity Summary:
The "2013 Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative, Phragmites Symbiosis Collaborative and Coastal Science Strategy" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number GRANT12187383) is a discretionary federal funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning it is intended to support a project where the federal agency is expected to have substantial involvement during the period of performance, rather than operating as a hands-off grant. The program sits under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.808, which is a USGS assistance listing typically tied to scientific research, coordination, and related technical work.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to continue an existing cooperative effort that began in 2013, rather than launch a brand-new competitive program. The description makes clear this is a continuation of a Cooperative Agreement with the Great Lakes Commission, focused on providing facilitation and coordination for regional collaboratives that address high-priority Great Lakes environmental challenges. The issues highlighted are invasive Phragmites (an aggressive invasive reed that can overtake wetlands and shorelines), invasive mussels (commonly referring to species like zebra and quagga mussels that disrupt food webs and infrastructure), and Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs), which can degrade water quality and affect human and ecosystem health. In practical terms, the work implied by "facilitation" typically includes convening partners, organizing multi-agency planning, supporting information sharing, coordinating strategies across jurisdictions, and helping align science, management actions, and communication across the basin.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on Jul 19, 2016, with an original closing date of Aug 02, 2016. The total potential funding listed has an award ceiling of $642,505, and the agency expected to make one award. Those details, combined with the explicit reference to a continuation agreement, suggest this was likely targeted to a specific partner organization to sustain ongoing collaborative infrastructure and momentum rather than fund multiple independent research proposals. Eligible applicants are listed as for-profit organizations other than small businesses, although the narrative indicates the agreement is being entered into with the Great Lakes Commission; in many federal postings, eligibility fields can be broader or standardized even when the actual action is effectively a continuation with a specific entity.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as support for basin-wide coordination and applied science-to-management collaboration in the Great Lakes region, keeping multi-partner initiatives moving on three major stressors: invasive Phragmites, invasive mussels, and harmful algal blooms. The funding level and single expected award align with maintaining a regional backbone organization and collaborative process rather than underwriting a large portfolio of separate research projects.
