Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Colorado Plateau CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00064) was a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding call issued through the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC). It supported science and technology research focused on understanding soil water dynamics on the Colorado Plateau, specifically how soil moisture and related water processes respond to climate conditions and to differences in ecosystem structure. In practical terms, the work being sought would help explain how water moves into, through, and out of soils across the region, and how vegetation patterns, plant community composition, and ecosystem characteristics influence (and are influenced by) changing climate and soil-water availability.
This opportunity used a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the award would typically involve substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared with a standard grant. The program sat under CFDA 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection), and the anticipated number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $57,500. The announcement listed no required cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which usually indicates the funding level was either fixed by the project scope or not formally capped in the listing, even though an overall total amount was provided.
Eligibility was limited to partners of the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are collaborative partnerships that connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofit organizations, and other partners to provide research, technical assistance, and education addressing natural and cultural resource issues. For this specific call, applicants needed to already be a participating member organization of the Colorado Plateau CESU to be considered eligible, rather than the opportunity being open to all institutions.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on June 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2013, and it was later archived on September 19, 2013. The agency associated with the announcement was the Geological Survey (USGS). The public listing referenced Grants.gov for the full announcement details and instructions. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
