Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior, announced a discretionary research funding opportunity under the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The opportunity is identified as "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Chesapeake Watershed CESU" with funding opportunity number G16AS00097, and it was created on June 22, 2016 with an original application closing date of July 8, 2016. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or collaboration), rather than a standard grant with minimal agency participation.
The project focus is titled "Assessment of auditory deterrents on diving birds," and it falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. In practical terms, the work is intended to evaluate whether sound-based methods can effectively deter diving bird species in relevant settings. While the notice does not provide methodological details, a project with this title typically involves testing specific acoustic signals or devices, measuring bird responses, and assessing effectiveness and feasibility for real-world management or conservation applications.
Eligibility is limited to partners within the CESU network, specifically those associated with the Chesapeake Watershed CESU, and the eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. This means the competition is not broadly open to all institutions; it is directed to organizations that are already formal CESU partners (commonly universities, nonprofit organizations, or research entities that have established CESU agreements).
The funding listing shows a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $113,170, indicating USGS anticipated selecting one CESU partner to carry out the work up to that maximum amount. The associated CFDA number is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS research and monitoring assistance activities.
