Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Hawaii Pacific CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number 08HQPA0024), was offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. It was a discretionary science and technology research and development award structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would not simply deliver a finished product independently, but would be expected to collaborate closely with USGS staff throughout the work. The effort was led through the USGS Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERCE) and focused on producing actionable climate information for Hawaii.
The core purpose of the award was to develop high-resolution climate projections for the main Hawaiian Islands, with projection time horizons set at 2050 and 2100 at a minimum. A major emphasis of the work was not only generating the projections themselves, but ensuring they were translated into practical geospatial products. The successful applicant would work directly with USGS personnel to convert the climate projection outputs into ArcGIS-compatible spatial datasets that USGS could use in subsequent ecological modeling. Specifically, the spatial products were intended to support modeling of potential range distributions of Hawaiian plants and animals, which implies the projections needed to be suitable for downscaled, island-relevant ecological applications rather than broad global-scale summaries.
The opportunity specified an intended mapping scale of 1:100,000, setting expectations for the spatial detail and usability of the final GIS layers. It also included a firm delivery deadline: the projections and associated spatial data needed to be transmitted to PIERCE no later than September 15, 2008. This short runway was consistent with the overall timing of the solicitation, which was posted on May 6, 2008 and closed on May 19, 2008, with the announcement later archived on June 18, 2008.
In terms of funding, USGS anticipated making one award, with total estimated funding of $42,428. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $42,428, indicating the agency expected a single fixed funding amount rather than a range of possible budgets. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), reflecting its research and data development purpose within USGS.
Eligibility was limited to partners within the Hawaii Pacific CESU network. CESUs are collaborative partnerships designed to facilitate research, technical assistance, and education across federal agencies and non-federal partners, so this solicitation was effectively a targeted competition among organizations already participating in that CESU consortium rather than an open call to any applicant nationwide. For administrative and access questions, the listed point of contact was Faith Peters, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356.
