Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Chesapeake Watershed CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00015) was a US Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding announcement issued through the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. The purpose of the award was to support scientific research focused on understanding how Hurricane Sandy affected migrating landbirds, with particular attention to how these birds used coastal habitats during migration after the storm. In practical terms, the project scope centers on post-hurricane ecological impacts on migratory bird behavior, habitat use, and potentially habitat quality or availability in coastal environments influenced by Sandy.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically signals that substantial federal involvement is expected during the life of the project, meaning USGS staff may collaborate with the recipient on technical direction, study design refinement, data coordination, or other project elements beyond what would occur under a standard grant. The activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA program was 15.808, U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection.
The announcement anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding notice did not specify a formal award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which commonly indicates the amount is governed by the project needs and available funds as described in the full announcement rather than a hard range stated in the summary fields.
Eligibility was restricted to partners within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically those participating in the Chesapeake Watershed CESU Program. CESUs are structured partnerships among federal agencies, universities, and other organizations designed to deliver research, technical assistance, and education tied to natural and cultural resource management. In this case, only organizations that were already recognized as Chesapeake Watershed CESU partners could apply, rather than the general public or any institution broadly.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on November 25, 2013, with an original and current closing date of December 6, 2013, indicating a short application window. The opportunity was later archived on February 25, 2014. Applicants looking for the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
