Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20036) is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding announcement issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Californian CESU. It uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating on methods, data use, deliverables, or review of interim products), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction.

The core purpose of the project is research and development in science and technology focused on high-elevation white pine species in three Sierra Nevada national parks: Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite. The stated goal is to use spatially explicit data (data tied to geographic locations, such as GIS layers, remote sensing products, and mapped environmental variables) to develop species distribution models. These models are intended to describe where suitable habitat for the target white pine species exists under current conditions and to project how those suitable areas could shift under various climate change scenarios. In practical terms, the work supports understanding present-day habitat suitability and forecasting potential future range changes, which can inform park and resource managers as they plan for climate impacts on sensitive high-elevation tree species.

The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $68,900. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which usually indicates the agency did not specify formal minimum or maximum bounds in the posting, even though an estimated total program amount was provided. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the program is 15.808, USGS Research and Data Collection.

Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in the Californian CESU network. CESUs are collaborative partnerships that connect federal agencies with universities and other research institutions to deliver applied research, technical assistance, and education that support public land and resource management needs. Because of that structure, the “Eligible Applicants” field is broad in a general sense (“Others”), but the controlling requirement is that applicants must be an official Californian CESU partner in order to apply.

Key dates in the posting show it was published on May 24, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2011, and it was later archived on August 18, 2011. For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed contact was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov). The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full posting and any associated instructions or application package.
