Opportunity Summary:
This government grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Colorado Plateau CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00071), was offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Department of the Interior. It was issued through the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) and focuses on supporting applied research tied to natural resource science and management. The project theme is a targeted investigation into sagebrush health at the southern edge of the plant's distribution, specifically examining how available soil water and land use influence sagebrush vigor. In practical terms, the work is meant to improve understanding of how environmental constraints (like limited moisture) and human-driven landscape factors (like grazing, development, or other land uses) may affect sagebrush condition in a range-margin setting where the species may already be under stress.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an expectation of substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal agency during the project, rather than a more hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity falls within the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $19,793. No cost sharing or matching was required, which means applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness. The posting date was July 2, 2013, with a creation date of July 9, 2013. The original closing date was July 12, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of July 22, 2013. The opportunity was archived on September 2, 2013.
Eligibility was limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are cooperative partnerships designed to link federal agencies with universities, research institutions, and other partners to provide research, technical assistance, and education that support public land and natural resource stewardship. Because this opportunity was issued under the CESU framework, applicants outside that specific CESU partnership would not have been eligible, even if they otherwise had relevant scientific expertise. The listing notes the eligible applicant category as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the clarification being that applicants must be Colorado Plateau CESU partners.
For prospective applicants needing more information or assistance accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Faith Graves at USGS, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov. An additional information link was provided through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/), where the full notice and application instructions would have been available during the open period.
