Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00052, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Basin CESU," was a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. It was administered by the USGS Columbia Environmental Research Office and fell under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The stated purpose was to support a CESU partner in serving as a team member in a high-level planning effort tied to the Missouri River Recovery Program, specifically focused on planning work that contributes to recovery of the endangered pallid sturgeon. In practical terms, the award was meant to bring a qualified partner into a coordinated planning process rather than to fund a large, open-ended research portfolio, emphasizing collaboration and direct participation with the program and USGS.
The opportunity was issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, which is a partnership model designed to connect federal agencies with university, nonprofit, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. Eligibility was limited to organizations that were already participating partners in the Great Basin CESU Program. That restriction is central to the announcement: it was not a broadly open competition, but rather a targeted cooperative agreement vehicle intended to engage an existing CESU partner with relevant expertise and capacity to contribute to a structured recovery-planning process.
The funding details indicate a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $37,275. The listing showed no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which commonly appears in postings where the total anticipated amount is provided but specific minimum and maximum award sizes are not formally set in the system fields. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), indicating the broader federal assistance program classification under which the funding was offered.
Key dates in the posting show it was initially posted on April 2, 2014, with an original closing date of April 11, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of April 25, 2014. The opportunity was subsequently archived on July 2, 2014. The public listing referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full announcement and provided a point of contact for access issues: Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 and fgraves@usgs.gov.
Overall, this grant opportunity can be understood as a small, specialized cooperative agreement intended to bring an eligible Great Basin CESU partner into a coordinated, high-level recovery planning team for pallid sturgeon efforts under the Missouri River Recovery Program, leveraging the CESU partnership model to support mission-driven planning and inter-organizational collaboration.
