Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00092), was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under its National Geospatial Program (NGP). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the USGS anticipated active involvement with the selected recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The program focus falls under science and technology and other research and development, and it is tied to CFDA 15.808, which covers USGS research and data collection activities.
The core purpose of the award was to support geospatial research and hands-on technical assistance that would help implement the StreamStats hydrologic modeling framework for West Virginia. StreamStats is a USGS framework used to deliver streamflow and watershed-related statistics through a GIS-enabled, web-based application, and implementing it in a state typically involves assembling and validating geospatial datasets, configuring hydrologic tools and workflows, and ensuring the system can reliably generate hydrologic estimates for user-selected locations. In practical terms, the opportunity sought a CESU partner capable of doing applied geospatial work (such as GIS processing and analysis), providing technical support to USGS and stakeholders, and contributing to the build-out or refinement of a StreamStats deployment tailored to West Virginia conditions and data.
Eligibility was limited to partners within the Great Lakes Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations to provide research, technical assistance, and education. The listing notes "Others" as eligible applicants, but the eligibility clarification is that applicants had to be part of that specific CESU network. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which generally indicates the announcement did not set formal maximum or minimum award limits in those specific fields, even though the estimated total available funding was clearly stated. The posting date and creation date were both July 2, 2013, and the application deadline was July 12, 2013, indicating a short submission window. The opportunity was later archived on September 2, 2013. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice.
For questions or to request help accessing the full announcement, the listed USGS contact was Faith Graves, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov.
