Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00062), titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, North Atlantic CESU," was offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) through its National Geospatial Program (NGP). It was structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the science and technology/research and development category (CFDA 15.808, USGS Research and Data Collection). The core purpose was to support geospatial research and hands-on technical work that strengthens national hydrography data, specifically by helping implement locally detailed (local resolution) updates and improvements to the National Hydrography Database (NHD).
The program focus centers on the NHD as a foundational dataset for water-related mapping and analysis in the United States. The NHD is described as a key component of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and The National Map (TNM), both of which are major federal efforts supported by the NGP to provide consistent, high-quality geospatial data nationwide. In practical terms, the opportunity sought partners capable of doing the applied geospatial work needed to build, refine, and integrate hydrographic data so it can be used reliably for mapping, planning, research, and operational decision-making. Alongside hydrography database implementation, the opportunity also aligns with the broader NGP mission: supporting basic geospatial research, developing and maintaining geospatial databases, applying geospatial data to real problems, and producing geospatial products and services that can be shared and reused.
Eligibility was limited to members of the North Atlantic Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network. CESUs are collaborative partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education in support of resource management and related needs. In this case, USGS invited all qualified entities within the North Atlantic CESU network to apply, emphasizing capability in geospatial research, technical support, and NHD implementation work rather than opening competition to the general public outside the CESU partnership.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically indicates that applicants should rely on the total estimated funding and the project scope described in the full announcement rather than assuming a preset minimum or maximum. Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on June 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2013, and an archive date of September 13, 2013, indicating it was a time-limited competition intended to move quickly.
For access to the full announcement and application instructions, the listing directed applicants to Grants.gov. The contact listed for assistance was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov), particularly for issues accessing the announcement electronically.
