Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00085) was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program, specifically the California CESU network. It is a discretionary science and technology research and development award that will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the USGS expects substantial involvement in shaping or participating in the work rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final product. The agency anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. There is no stated award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The core purpose of the project sits within the USGS Core Science Analytics and Synthesis (CSAS) Program and focuses on improving how the USGS coordinates science across its many mission and geographic areas, reports results, and collaborates across programs. The work is framed as technical assistance and expertise that helps the USGS better connect the dots among its diverse science activities and partner efforts. In practical terms, the project aims to explore and evaluate methods for linking data from multiple sources, including internal USGS systems and datasets, external initiatives such as the National Science Foundation EarthCube effort, and other relevant data held by universities, nongovernmental organizations, and public sources.
A major theme is integration and visibility: the USGS conducts a wide range of research and applied science projects, often with numerous partners, and the agency is looking for ways to visualize relationships among projects, people, outputs, and datasets so those connections can be understood and strengthened. The intended outcome is not just a better inventory of information, but a clearer picture of how programs relate to one another, where collaborations already exist, where gaps or redundancies may be present, and how knowledge and results can move more effectively across organizational boundaries. The opportunity also emphasizes alignment with broader university-led efforts to describe and connect scientific research activity, including linkages among research topics, personnel, and project information, suggesting the project could inform shared approaches to research networking and metadata practices beyond the USGS.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in the California CESU, since the award is being issued under the CESU framework, which is designed to facilitate research, technical assistance, and education partnerships. The opportunity was posted on August 13, 2013, with an original and final closing date of August 23, 2013, and it was archived on November 13, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 and fgraves@usgs.gov.
