Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Colorado Plateau | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Colorado Plateau funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00028) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant competition that supports science and technology research and development through a cooperative agreement. In practical terms, USGS is looking to partner with an eligible CESU member organization to produce research products that help inform management and policy decisions, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary resource assessments, the value of scientific information, and related topics that fall within the mission space of USGS research and data collection.

This opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is a network of partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofit organizations, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. The key eligibility constraint is that applicants must already be an official participating partner within the Colorado Plateau CESU Program. The listing indicates eligibility as "Others," but the clarifying text makes it clear that the applicant pool is limited to Colorado Plateau CESU partners rather than the general public.

USGS anticipated making a single award under this announcement (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $62,907. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically means the actual award size and final budget details are governed by the proposal scope and negotiations rather than a pre-set cap in the synopsis. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary contributions or leveraged resources might still be described in a competitive proposal depending on program norms.

From a timing standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on March 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2013, indicating a relatively short application window. The archive date is October 21, 2013, meaning the opportunity is no longer active and is provided for historical reference. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), which signals that the work is tied to USGS research and information-generation activities rather than construction, direct service delivery, or formula funding.

For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details, the notice points to Grants.gov as the official source and provides a contact for assistance accessing the announcement: Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 and fgraves@usgs.gov. This contact information is specifically framed around help with electronic access to the full announcement, which suggests that submission requirements, technical proposal expectations, and any additional scope details were contained in the complete Grants.gov posting rather than in this brief summary.
