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, North and West Alaska CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G12AS20052). The award is intended to support science and technology research and development through a cooperative agreement, with an emphasis on applied, field-oriented technical research rather than purely theoretical work. The core purpose of the project is the development of field-based methods to detect and quantify methane ebullition in wetlands, meaning the release of methane gas as bubbles from wetland soils and sediments into the water column and atmosphere. Improving measurement methods for this process is important because ebullition can be a major pathway for methane emissions in wetland environments, yet it is often difficult to capture accurately using standard monitoring approaches.
The opportunity was limited to one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,620. The notice did not list an award ceiling or floor, indicating the funding level was essentially defined by the total estimated amount available for this single cooperative agreement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in the North and West Alaska CESU. CESUs are formal partnerships between federal agencies and non-federal partners (commonly universities, research institutions, and other eligible entities) designed to facilitate collaborative research, technical assistance, and education related to ecosystem management and related scientific priorities. Because of that structure, this opportunity was not open broadly to the public; only qualifying CESU partners could apply.
Key administrative details include a posted date of June 18, 2012, with the original and current closing date both listed as July 6, 2012, and an archive date of September 18, 2012. The relevant CFDA number was 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), which is the federal assistance listing associated with USGS research and data collection activities.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Faith Graves at USGS (phone 703-648-7356, email fgraves@usgs.gov). The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the location for the full opportunity details and supporting documents.
