Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes - Northern Forest CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G12AS20061) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary research award offered as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The CESU network is designed to link federal agencies with academic and other partner institutions to deliver research, technical assistance, and education that support public resource management. In this specific announcement, USGS is seeking one CESU partner to carry out scientific work focused on how future climate change may alter avian malaria transmission and how those disease changes could affect the population dynamics (demography) of native Hawaiian forest birds.
At its core, the project is aimed at improving predictions and understanding of the relationship between a changing climate, disease ecology, and conservation outcomes for Hawaiian birds. Avian malaria has been a major driver of declines in many native Hawaiian forest bird species, and its spread and intensity are closely linked to environmental conditions that influence mosquito vectors and parasite development. By explicitly calling for research on "future climate change impacts," the opportunity signals an emphasis on forward-looking analysis, such as anticipating how temperature and rainfall patterns, elevation-related habitat shifts, or changes in mosquito suitability may expand or intensify disease risk. The demographic component indicates the work is not only about where or when transmission might occur, but also about what those changes mean for survival, reproduction, recruitment, and long-term population viability of native forest birds.
The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development funding activity category, with an estimated total funding amount of $259,000 and an expected number of awards of one. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which typically reflects that the announcement did not specify strict per-award minimums or maximums in the public summary and that the actual budget would be governed by the approved proposal and negotiations under the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is limited and specific: applicants must be participating partners of the Great Lakes - Northern Forest CESU Program. That means this is not a general open competition to all universities or nonprofits, but a targeted opportunity for institutions already affiliated with that CESU partnership. The agency name is the Geological Survey (USGS), and the assistance listing is associated with CFDA 15.808, which covers U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2012, and it was archived on September 18, 2012. The public listing also provides an additional information link to Grants.gov and includes a point of contact for access issues or questions: Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
