Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00131) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant offered through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU. It uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is tied to CFDA 15.820, National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center.
The project focus is research support for an effort titled "The Theory and Practice of Translational Ecology: a Special Issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment." In practical terms, the work is meant to contribute to producing or supporting a special issue in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, centered on translational ecology. Translational ecology typically refers to approaches that connect ecological science to real-world decision-making by emphasizing collaboration among scientists, managers, communities, and other stakeholders, with an aim toward actionable outcomes. The Southwest Climate Science Center (SW CSC) is the USGS entity offering the opportunity, indicating the work is aligned with climate science and applied ecological research priorities, even though the eligible CESU is the Great Lakes Northern Forests network.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as $0, which usually indicates that specific minimums and maximums were not formally specified in those fields even though the announcement provides an estimated total amount available.
Eligibility is limited: applicants must be an official participating partner of the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU. The listing labels eligible applicants as "Others," with clarification that only partner institutions within that CESU are allowed to apply. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to streamline collaborative research, technical assistance, and educational activities between federal agencies and partner organizations (often universities, nonprofits, and research institutions), so the eligibility restriction is central to this solicitation.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on September 2, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2015.
