Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00077) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The project is positioned within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is intended to support one award with an estimated total funding amount of $490,484. No cost sharing or matching is required. The announcement was posted on June 5, 2014, with an application closing date of June 17, 2014, and it was later archived on September 5, 2014. While the notice lists award ceiling and floor as $0, that typically reflects how the opportunity was configured in the posting rather than the absence of funding, given the stated total estimated funding level.

The core purpose of the opportunity is to fund development of technology and infrastructure that improves how USGS geospatial data products are delivered, explored, and used. Specifically, USGS is seeking support to build or enhance tools for distributing geospatial products, to make those products easier to work with through visualization and tabulation features, and to strengthen capabilities that enable additional scientific analyses. The emphasis is not just on generating maps or datasets, but on creating practical, web-enabled ways for scientists, decision-makers, and other users to access the information and apply it efficiently. A central requirement is the establishment of a robust web-enabled data distribution site that can reliably serve the assessment products and related applications to end users.

Scientifically, the technology work is tied to a broader nationwide effort: a national assessment and ongoing monitoring program focused on ecosystem carbon storage and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. The assessment is intended to characterize ecological carbon stocks and emissions under current conditions and under future scenarios, taking into account major natural and human-driven factors that shape carbon dynamics. The opportunity highlights key drivers such as climate change, wildfire, other natural disturbances, land use change, and land management practices. Because the assessment produces many geospatial data products, the funded effort is meant to ensure those products are not only created but also effectively distributed and usable, supporting continued research into patterns and trends in carbon storage and GHG flux over time.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to streamline and support collaborative research, technical assistance, and educational activities between federal agencies and partner institutions. In practical terms, this means the applicant must be an approved Californian CESU partner to be considered; it is not an open competition to all institutions.
