Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Ecosystem Unit, Colorado Plateau CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20045) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Department of the Interior. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The program sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and it was framed as a CESU research project, with the specific technical objectives referenced as being in the full announcement.
This opportunity was issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, a network of partnerships designed to support research, technical assistance, and education tied to ecosystem and natural resource management needs. In this case, the relevant partnership was the Colorado Plateau CESU. Eligibility was limited to organizations that were already participating partners of the Colorado Plateau CESU, which typically includes certain universities, tribal entities, nonprofit organizations, and other collaborators formally affiliated with that CESU. The listing notes eligible applicants as "Others" with clarification provided through the CESU partner requirement, meaning it was not open competition to the general public or to entities outside the CESU partnership.
Funding for the award was relatively small in total, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,385 and an expectation of one award. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is a common artifact in older grants.gov records and usually indicates the specific budget parameters were provided in the full announcement rather than in the summary fields. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The announcement timeline was short. It was posted and created on June 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2011, indicating only about a nine-day window to respond. The opportunity was later archived on September 13, 2011. The CFDA number associated with the program was 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), which is the federal assistance listing tied to USGS research and data activities.
