Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G16AS00050) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the Western Geographic Science Center (WGSC). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA number is 15.808.
The purpose of the award is focused and technical: USGS is seeking a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network to build a Django-based web application that helps visualize and share land-use scenario data. The application is intended to support decision-making and research workflows by making scenario outputs easier to explore, compare, and communicate. A central feature is that the web app must connect to scenario results stored in a SyncroSim database, using the SyncroSim API. In practice, this implies the deliverable is not just a standalone website, but an integrated tool that can query, retrieve, and display model outputs managed in SyncroSim.
Functionally, the web application is expected to combine two major capabilities. First, it should provide an interactive web map that allows users to visualize land-use data across a landscape, suggesting geospatial display tools and map-driven exploration as core requirements. Second, it should include graphing or charting functions that can display and compare multiple scenarios over time, enabling users to examine trends, differences among scenarios, and temporal changes in land-use outcomes. Together, these features point to an application designed for both spatial and temporal analysis of scenario results, likely supporting interactive filtering, selection of scenarios, and dynamic visualization.
Eligibility is restricted to CESU partners (the solicitation lists eligible applicants as “Others,” with clarification provided in the original eligibility text), meaning applicants generally must be members of the CESU program and aligned with its cooperative research framework. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $21,312, indicating a small, targeted development effort rather than a large multi-year research project. The posting date and creation date were April 7, 2016, and the closing date for submissions was April 22, 2016, reflecting a short application window typical of limited-scope CESU tasks.
