Opportunity Summary:
The US Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G16AS00026). The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the selected recipient will work closely with USGS and may have substantial involvement from the agency during the period of performance. The activity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category (CFDA 15.808), reflecting a research-oriented or technical assistance purpose rather than a simple pass-through award.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support the Missouri River Recovery Program by adding a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner as a team member in a high-level planning process focused on recovery of the endangered Pallid Sturgeon. In practical terms, the funded partner would be expected to contribute expertise to planning efforts that help guide recovery actions for this listed species, likely involving coordination with other stakeholders, synthesis of scientific information, and participation in structured planning discussions tied to recovery goals on the Missouri River system.
Eligibility is limited to CESU partners, with the notice listing eligible applicants broadly as "Others" and directing interested parties to additional eligibility language in the full announcement. Only one award is expected. The maximum (ceiling) federal amount available is $77,281, indicating a relatively targeted, small-scale award meant to fund a specific planning-support role rather than a large multi-year research program.
The opportunity was posted and created on January 19, 2016, with an application closing date of February 1, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). This short application window suggests the award may have been intended for an existing pool of qualified CESU partners prepared to engage quickly in the planning process.
