Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Plains CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Plains CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00040) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant competition offered through a cooperative agreement to support research under the CESU partnership framework. Managed through the USGS Western Ecological Research Center (WERC), the project is titled "Migratory Bird and Disease Ecology" and is designed to advance scientific understanding at the intersection of bird migration and wildlife disease, with a specific emphasis on work that complements existing USGS avian influenza efforts. The opportunity is set up to fund one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $102,225, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds from the recipient.

The core purpose of this project is to contribute to USGS research on migratory birds and disease dynamics by coordinating closely with an ongoing avian influenza research program already underway at WERC and the USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC). The announcement highlights that the USGS effort is composed of several interrelated study components, and that migratory bird and disease ecology is one of those components included in this solicitation. In practical terms, this kind of framing usually signals that the partner selected will be expected to align their work with existing federal research priorities, collaborate with USGS scientists, and produce outputs that integrate cleanly with broader, multi-part research initiatives rather than operating as a standalone academic project.

Because this is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in the Great Plains CESU. CESUs are formal partnerships intended to streamline and strengthen collaboration between federal agencies and partner institutions by supporting research, technical assistance, and education connected to natural and cultural resource management. That means the competition is not open to the general public or to institutions outside the Great Plains CESU network; applicants must be eligible CESU partners as defined by the program.

Administratively, the opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is tied to CFDA number 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The posting date and creation date are both March 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 14, 2014, indicating a short application window typical of some CESU solicitations. The announcement was later archived on June 4, 2014. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which is often used in federal listings when a specific fixed ceiling is not declared in the summary fields, even though an estimated total funding figure is provided.

For applicants needing the full details, the listing points to Grants.gov for the complete announcement package and instructions. The contact listed for access issues or questions is Faith Graves at USGS (phone: 703-648-7356; email: fgraves@usgs.gov).
