Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20089) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Californian CESU. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The focus area falls under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection).

The project itself is narrowly defined: the USGS is seeking a partner organization within the Californian CESU network to carry out fog drip research on Santa Rosa Island, California. The stated goal is to produce a summary of remote weather station data that supports fog drip monitoring on the island, covering the period from July 2011 through August 2012. In practical terms, the work centers on compiling, organizing, and analyzing data collected by remote weather stations (for example, meteorological variables that help describe fog occurrence and conditions linked to fog drip), and then delivering a clear summary of what those stations recorded during the specified timeframe. The end product is not described as building new infrastructure or running a broad multi-year field program; it is primarily about synthesizing and summarizing an existing dataset tied to fog drip monitoring.

Funding for the opportunity is modest, with an estimated total of $7,500 and an expectation of a single award (Expected Awards: 1). No cost sharing or matching is required. The notice lists no award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which typically indicates the agency did not specify formal bounds in the listing even though the total anticipated amount is provided.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the Californian CESU. The listing uses the category "Others" and clarifies eligibility through the CESU requirement, meaning an applicant must be part of that established CESU partnership structure to be considered. This is common for CESU opportunities, which are designed to route applied research and technical assistance through pre-existing federal-nonfederal partnership agreements.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2011, indicating a short application window. The archive date is November 3, 2011. The agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). The announcement also provides a Grants.gov link for additional information and directs applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement to contact Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov.
