Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Plains CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G16AS00068) was a discretionary U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding call administered through the USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (NPWRC). It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would typically work in close collaboration with USGS staff during the project rather than operating as a fully independent grantee. The opportunity was posted on May 16, 2016, created the same day, and closed on June 2, 2016.
The main purpose of the project was to support scientific research on how climate change has influenced prairie pothole wetland ecosystems across multiple time scales, including recent changes, historical periods, and paleo (deep-time) conditions. The research focus is specifically tied to biological communities in these wetlands, with particular emphasis on aquatic invertebrates and aquatic vertebrates such as fish and amphibians. In practical terms, the intent is to improve understanding of how wetland community composition, abundance, and ecological dynamics have responded to climate variability and climate shifts over time, which can inform current conservation and management strategies in the Prairie Pothole Region.
Eligibility was limited to partners within the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, as indicated by the statement that the award would go to a CESU partner and the eligibility category listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The program anticipated making a single award, with an expected award count of 1 and an award ceiling of $109,300. The funding activity aligns with Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which corresponds to U.S. Geological Survey research and related assistance.
Overall, this was a targeted, single-award research opportunity designed to leverage CESU partnerships to investigate climate-driven ecological change in prairie pothole wetlands, concentrating on the response of key aquatic animal groups that are often used to interpret wetland condition, habitat suitability, and broader ecosystem shifts through time.
