Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Pacific Northwest CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number 10HQPA0058) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement that supports a focused research and development project in fisheries genetics and molecular ecology. It is administered through the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center, specifically the Columbia River Research Laboratory, and is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is intended to be conducted in close collaboration with USGS scientists rather than as a fully independent project.
The core purpose of the project is twofold. First, the selected recipient will help develop an oligonucleotide (oligo) microarray for largescale suckers, a molecular tool used to measure and compare gene expression across many genes at once. Second, the project will test how well that microarray performs across other sucker species by evaluating cross-reactivity, which is essentially whether probes designed for one species can reliably detect similar gene targets in related species. In practice, this type of tool development can make it much easier to study how environmental conditions, disease, stressors, or other factors influence gene expression across multiple taxa within the sucker family.
A major emphasis of the announcement is the cooperative nature of the work. The recipient is expected to work jointly with Columbia River Research Laboratory staff to design the study, carry out the laboratory and analytical components, interpret results, and produce final outputs. The deliverables are described as complete reports and/or peer-reviewed publications, and the announcement specifies that these products should be jointly co-authored by the recipient and USGS laboratory staff. Another important outcome is that the resulting microarray will be made available for use not only by the immediate collaborators but also by other cooperators and researchers, enabling broader applications in studies of gene expression in various sucker species.
The opportunity is listed under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, tied to CFDA number 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The estimated total funding amount is $34,500, with one expected award. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited in a specific way because the award is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are formal partnerships that connect federal agencies with universities, research institutions, and other partners to provide research, technical assistance, and education. For this particular solicitation, eligible recipients must already be participating partners in the Pacific Northwest CESU Program, so the competition is not open to the general public or to organizations outside that partnership network.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on May 4, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2010, and it was archived on June 16, 2010. The agency contact listed for access issues is Faith Graves, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356.
