Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00025), titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU," was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as a discretionary financial assistance award in the form of a cooperative agreement. It sits in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category and is tied to CFDA 15.808, which covers USGS research and data collection. The core purpose of the award is to support research participation in a high-level planning effort connected to the Missouri River Recovery Program, specifically focusing on recovery planning for the endangered Pallid Sturgeon.

The work described is not framed as a broad, open research competition for the general public. Instead, it is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is a network of partnerships designed to deliver applied research, technical assistance, and education in support of natural resource management needs. Because of that structure, eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners of the Gulf Coast CESU. In other words, only members within that specific CESU unit are eligible to receive the award, and the opportunity is meant to leverage that existing partnership model rather than recruit new, unaffiliated applicants.

USGS anticipated making a single award under this announcement (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity is $52,724. The announcement lists no award ceiling and no award floor, which typically means the agency did not specify formal minimum or maximum award limits in the notice itself, even though it provided an estimated total amount expected to be available. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the cooperative agreement.

Timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on December 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 9, 2015. The announcement was later archived on March 23, 2015. For access to the full announcement details through the government portal, the notice points to Grants.gov. The listed point of contact for assistance is Faith Graves at USGS, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov.

In practical terms, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for a CESU partner to contribute expertise to planning-related research that informs recovery actions for Pallid Sturgeon in the Missouri River system. The cooperative agreement instrument also signals that USGS likely expected substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination, joint planning, or collaboration during execution), which is a common feature of cooperative agreements compared to more hands-off grant arrangements.
