This opportunity is structured under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) National Network, specifically connected to the Pacific Northwest CESU framework. CESUs are partnerships that link federal agencies with universities and other organizations that bring scientific research capacity and land management expertise. The announcement highlights that partners in this network can include tribes, universities, state agencies, and other qualified organizations, with an emphasis on collaboration that helps federal land management agencies apply research and technical information to real-world management needs. In line with the Pacific Northwest CESU Cooperative and Joint Venture Agreement (2010-2015), the stated objective is to prioritize practical working relationships among federal agencies and universities and their partner institutions, reinforcing joint problem-solving and shared expertise.
The award is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.224, Cultural Resource Management.

The award ceiling is listed as $4,100,000 and the award floor as $500, indicating the program’s overall funding scale while still allowing for a wide minimum threshold in potential project budgeting.

Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the CESU model of leveraging university-based expertise and capacity to deliver services and support to federal resource management missions. The opportunity was posted and created on June 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2013, and it was archived on October 1, 2013.
