Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number G12AS20070, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Rivers CESU," is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding opportunity issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The program sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area. It was posted June 25, 2012, created July 9, 2012, and ultimately closed July 18, 2012 (with an original closing date of July 6, 2012). The opportunity was archived September 25, 2012. USGS anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $12,500. There was no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The purpose of the award was to support a study conducted in partnership with the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The work focus was stream temperature, specifically assembling and leveraging existing stream temperature datasets, determining where important information gaps exist, and then deploying temperature monitoring equipment to fill those gaps. Beyond simply collecting data, the project also aimed to strengthen the region's ability to analyze and predict stream temperatures by contributing to a comparison of state-of-the-art stream temperature models across the Northeast domain. In practical terms, the effort combines data inventory, targeted field monitoring, and model evaluation, all directed at improving understanding of stream thermal conditions and the tools used to simulate them.
Eligibility was limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the Great Rivers CESU Program. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, research institutions, and other partners to provide research, technical assistance, and education. Because this opportunity was issued under the CESU framework, applicants outside the Great Rivers CESU partnership were not eligible to receive the award.
