Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Rivers CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00065). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from USGS compared with a standard grant, typically through collaboration on study design, implementation details, data handling, and reporting. The activity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and is associated with CFDA 15.808, which covers USGS Research and Data Collection.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support research focused on toxicity testing using mayflies. While the short description does not provide methodological specifics, toxicity testing with mayflies is commonly used in aquatic science because mayflies are sensitive to many pollutants and can serve as indicators of water quality and ecological health. Research in this area often helps agencies understand how contaminants or environmental stressors affect aquatic invertebrates and, by extension, stream and river ecosystems. Given the CESU context, the work is generally intended to produce applied, management-relevant science that can inform resource management decisions, monitoring programs, or regulatory and conservation efforts in riverine environments.
USGS anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $93,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which typically indicates that the announcement did not specify minimum or maximum award sizes in the summary fields even though a total funding estimate was provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are participating partners of the Great Rivers CESU Program. CESUs are formal partnerships among federal agencies, universities, and other organizations that collaborate to provide research, technical assistance, and education. The "EligibleApplicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others," but the controlling requirement is CESU membership in the Great Rivers CESU network; applicants outside that partnership would not be eligible under this announcement.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited 2013 opportunity. The opportunity was posted and created on June 17, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2013, indicating a short application window. The record was archived on September 17, 2013. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time (the summary references an additional information link pointing to Grants.gov).
