Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, North and West Alaska CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00055) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) Alaska Science Center discretionary funding announcement designed to support a focused wildlife research project in northern Alaska. The award would be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, collaborating on study design, methods, data collection coordination, or analysis and reporting), rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The core purpose of the project is to generate new, field-based information on Canada lynx in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The research emphasis is on quantifying how lynx use the landscape across seasons, what habitats they select, and what prey items they rely on. In addition to habitat and diet, the project aims to measure movement and behavior patterns, specifically diel (day-night) and seasonal activity levels and travel rates. Taken together, these objectives point to an applied ecology study intended to describe when and where lynx spend time, what resources they choose, and how their movements change across the year in an Arctic and sub-Arctic protected area.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the North and West Alaska Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are structured partnerships that link federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations to provide research, technical assistance, and education tied to natural and cultural resource management needs. As a result, this competition is not open to the general public or all academic institutions, only to those entities that are formally part of that specific CESU network.
The opportunity was posted on June 3, 2013, with an application deadline of June 14, 2013, and it was later archived on September 3, 2013. USGS anticipated making one award. The estimated total funding available was $22,786, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered competitive. The program is associated with CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), which reflects the scientific research and data-gathering nature of the work.
For applicants needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it online, the listed point of contact was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov). The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the source for additional details and official posting information.
