Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00112) was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, specifically the Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU. It is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The activity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, and it is tied to CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The opportunity was posted on September 24, 2013, with an application closing date of October 11, 2013, and it was later archived on October 24, 2013.

The core purpose of the project is to provide technical assistance to support a region-wide effort to characterize stream fish habitats across the Northeast United States and to pinpoint stream reaches that are most likely to be altered by climate change. In practical terms, the work is focused on understanding where suitable habitat conditions exist now, how those conditions vary from stream to stream, and which sections of stream networks are predicted to experience climate-driven shifts that could affect fish populations. A key emphasis is on identifying where the distributions of target fish species are likely to change as climate conditions evolve, which implies the work may involve linking habitat characteristics to species presence, evaluating vulnerability, and producing spatially explicit predictions that can guide management or monitoring.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already formal partners in the Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU Program. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to streamline collaboration among federal agencies, universities, and other research or technical entities to deliver research, technical assistance, and educational support. Because this opportunity is issued under the CESU authority, only participating partners within that specific CESU network can apply, rather than the general public or all institutions nationwide.

Financially, the announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $18,288. There was no stated award ceiling or floor, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant was not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered. The modest size of the funding suggests a targeted, discrete piece of technical or analytical support, such as habitat characterization work, data integration, GIS-based stream reach assessments, model support, or similar deliverables that feed into broader USGS or partner-led regional efforts.

For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full opportunity information. The point of contact provided for access issues was Faith Graves at the USGS, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov.
