Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00074) is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding call issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Californian CESU. It is administered by the USGS Western Ecological Research Center and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient should expect substantial collaboration and involvement from the federal partner during the life of the project rather than a hands-off, standard grant arrangement. The activity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and is associated with CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection).
The funded project is titled "Focused surveys for pallid bats (Antrozous pallidus) and Townsend's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii) in the San Diego County MSCP areas." In practical terms, the work centers on targeted field surveys intended to detect, document, and better understand the presence and distribution of these two bat species within lands covered by San Diego County's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP). While the notice itself is brief, the project title makes the intent clear: produce focused, location-specific survey information that can support conservation planning and management decisions in MSCP preserve areas and associated habitats. Both species are of interest for conservation and land management because bat populations can be sensitive to habitat disturbance, roost availability, and changing landscape conditions, and robust survey data are often necessary to guide protective measures or to inform environmental review and long-term monitoring.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the Californian CESU network. CESUs are formal partnerships that link federal agencies with universities, nonprofit organizations, and other research institutions to deliver research, technical assistance, and education that supports natural and cultural resource management. Because this opportunity is restricted to CESU partners, prospective applicants outside the Californian CESU membership would not be eligible unless they were to participate through an eligible member organization consistent with CESU rules and the specific terms of the announcement.
The USGS anticipated making one award under this opportunity. The estimated total funding amount listed is $131,170, and there is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means the applicant is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award (though applicants may still propose leveraged resources if appropriate). The listing shows no specified award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which typically indicates the announcement did not publish a fixed per-award minimum or maximum even though an overall estimated funding amount is provided.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on May 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 12, 2015. The archive date is August 26, 2015, indicating the opportunity is no longer open. The primary public listing and full announcement were available through Grants.gov via the additional information link provided in the notice.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Faith Graves at the USGS (phone 703-648-7356, email fgraves@usgs.gov).
