Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00093) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant in the form of a cooperative agreement, issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network, specifically the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU. The project is positioned within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and is intended to support applied research that directly informs river and floodplain management decisions.
The core purpose of the funding is to support research on how three closely linked components interact along rivers in the western United States: fluvial processes (how water moves and shapes river channels and floodplains), sediment dynamics (how sediment is transported, deposited, and reworked), and vegetation response (how plant communities on floodplains establish, change, or recover as physical conditions evolve). A highlighted, specific management and research need is tied to the Elwha River in Washington, where dam removal created a major shift in sediment supply and deposition patterns. USGS is particularly interested in improving understanding of how floodplain vegetation responds to those sediment changes, with emphasis on sediment deposition associated with the dam removal and subsequent geomorphic adjustment of the river corridor.
Eligibility is limited to partners of the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU (the announcement lists eligible applicants as "Others" and clarifies eligibility in the text as CESU partners for that unit). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of the award. The agency anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), and the total estimated funding is $62,630, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $62,630, indicating a single, fixed funding amount for the project as advertised.
Key dates listed in the notice include an original closing date of March 13, 2015, with a current closing date of July 31, 2015. The posting date is February 27, 2015, and the archive date is October 31, 2015. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.808, U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection, which is commonly used for USGS-supported research, monitoring, and related scientific activities.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Faith Graves, Contract Specialist, at 703-648-7356.
