Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Chesapeake Watershed CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Chesapeake Watershed CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00098) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement focused on science and technology research and development. It was issued by the Geological Survey under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, a network of partnerships designed to deliver research, technical assistance, and education to support federal resource-management needs. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant to fund a specific, targeted research effort rather than a broad open-ended program, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaboration on project direction, coordination, or review of deliverables).

The research topic is tied to the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and supports a project titled "Climate Change Research Activities Synthesis." The core purpose is to fund a CESU partner to synthesize climate change research activities, which typically means pulling together existing studies, results, and lessons learned into a coherent set of findings that can inform decision-making, future research planning, or communication of current science. While the brief description does not list specific tasks, a synthesis project commonly involves literature and project review, compilation of existing data and reports, identification of trends and gaps, and production of summary products such as technical reports, annotated bibliographies, or decision-relevant summaries.

Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and focused, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 and an expectation of a single award. The posting date was June 26, 2014, with the announcement created July 9, 2014. The original closing date was July 8, 2014, but the closing date was subsequently extended to July 18, 2014. The archive date is September 26, 2014, indicating that the opportunity is historical and no longer open. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness.

Eligibility is limited to participating partners of the Chesapeake Watershed CESU. The listing flags "Others" as eligible applicants, but clarifies that this refers specifically to organizations that are already formal members of the Chesapeake Watershed CESU partnership. In other words, it was not a general competition open to any university, nonprofit, or private entity unless that entity was already an approved CESU partner in that regional network.

For administrative classification, the opportunity falls under CFDA number 15.808, labeled "U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection." The announcement also lists an award ceiling and floor as zero, which usually reflects that the funding amount is handled differently in the posting or is defined in the narrative rather than enforced through those fields; the estimated total of $50,000 and single expected award are the meaningful indicators of scale.
