Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20023) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Desert Southwest CESU. The core purpose of the award is to support dendrochronological research aimed at addressing hydroecological questions, meaning the work is focused on using tree-ring science to better understand relationships between water conditions and ecological responses. In practical terms, dendrochronology can be used to reconstruct past hydrologic variability such as drought frequency and severity, streamflow patterns, groundwater influences, or climate-driven water stress, and then connect those reconstructions to ecological impacts on vegetation and related natural systems.
The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.808, described as USGS Research and Data Collection. USGS indicated an expectation of a single award. The estimated total funding available for this opportunity was $38,679. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which typically means the announcement did not formally specify minimum or maximum individual award amounts in those fields, even though an overall funding estimate was provided.
Eligibility is limited. Applicants must be a participating partner of the Desert Southwest CESU Program. CESUs are structured partnerships that link federal agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofit organizations, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education aligned with resource management needs. Because this announcement is issued under the CESU mechanism, it is not broadly open to all applicants; only organizations that are already recognized partners within the Desert Southwest CESU network are eligible to apply.
The posting and timeline information show the opportunity was posted and created on March 31, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 11, 2011, indicating a short application window of roughly 11 days from posting to deadline. The archive date is June 30, 2011, meaning the opportunity was later moved into an archived status on Grants.gov after the application period and award processing window.
No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The announcement provides a general pointer to additional details through Grants.gov and includes a USGS contact for access issues or questions: Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
