Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Rivers CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00021) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant competition offered as a cooperative agreement. It is designed to support a single awardee that can provide research and technical assistance focused on developing online content for the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Record Management System website. In practical terms, the project centers on improving and expanding web-based information and materials that support how NRDAR records are organized, communicated, and accessed through the system.
The work is tied directly to the mission of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) NRDAR Program, which is to restore natural resources that have been injured by oil spills or releases of hazardous substances into the environment. The NRDAR process is built around formal damage assessments that determine what natural resource injuries occurred and what restoration is needed to make the public whole for lost resources and lost use. These assessments are conducted in partnership with the affected state, tribal, and federal trustee agencies, and the resulting information helps define restoration actions that address the publics loss and use of natural resources. The requested online content development for the NRDAR Record Management System is meant to strengthen that broader restoration mission by making the programs records and supporting materials more usable and effective in a web environment.
Eligibility is limited and specific. This opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, a network of partnerships intended to deliver research, technical assistance, and education resources to federal land and resource management needs. Only organizations that are already participating partners in the Great Rivers CESU are eligible to apply. The listing notes the eligible applicant category as "Others" because the real eligibility requirement is CESU partnership status within that particular CESU network, rather than a general category like state government or nonprofit.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The posting indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. It was posted on December 16, 2014, with an application closing date of January 9, 2015, and later archived on March 31, 2015. The CFDA program associated with the opportunity is 15.808, labeled U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection, and the activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov), and the central posting location referenced was Grants.gov.
