Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20019 is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically within the Great Rivers CESU. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or project oversight), rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA number is 15.808, labeled USGS Research and Data Collection.
The purpose of the opportunity is tied to the Great Rivers CESU, which is part of a broader national CESU network. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to support applied research, technical assistance, and education that help federal agencies and their partners address natural resource and ecosystem management needs. In practice, CESU projects often involve interdisciplinary work such as ecological monitoring, habitat and species assessments, watershed and river system studies, resource management planning support, data collection and analysis, and development of decision-support tools, all aimed at producing actionable science that agencies can use.
Eligibility is restricted: applicants must be participating partners of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Program. The posting lists eligible applicants generally as "Others," with clarification that only current Great Rivers CESU partners may apply. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of funding, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $25,850. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which generally indicates that a specific ceiling/floor was not entered in the standard fields even though an estimated total funding level is provided; the practical takeaway is that the planned funding amount for this announcement is approximately $25,850. The opportunity was posted on March 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 31, 2011, and it was archived on June 21, 2011, indicating it is no longer open.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed USGS contact is Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 and fgraves@usgs.gov. The additional information link provided in the notice points to Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/), which is where the full announcement and application instructions would have been hosted at the time.
