Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Pacific Northwest CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20060) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement intended to support a single research project focused on spatially explicit modeling of migratory populations. The central purpose is to develop or apply modeling approaches that can quantify how migratory species rely, in proportional terms, on different geographic portions of their migratory ranges. In practical terms, the work is aimed at clarifying which areas along a migration pathway contribute most to a population's persistence, performance, or viability, using methods that explicitly represent space and movement rather than treating the range as a single uniform area.
This award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on study design, data use, methodological choices, milestones, or interpretation and delivery of results. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, consistent with a modeling and analytical research effort rather than implementation of on-the-ground management actions. The total estimated funding available is $50,600, and the opportunity anticipates making one award. The notice lists no award ceiling or floor, which typically indicates that the agency is not setting a strict per-award maximum or minimum in the public synopsis, but the practical constraint is the total amount available for the single expected award.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are participating partners of the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are collaborative networks that connect federal agencies with universities, tribal nations, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education in support of natural resource stewardship. Because this opportunity is issued under the CESU framework, applicants must already be members of the Pacific Northwest CESU to be considered eligible under the terms of the announcement. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 5, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2011, and it was archived on September 27, 2011. The CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), which reflects the USGS assistance authority for research and data-related work. For applicants or interested partners needing the full announcement details beyond the synopsis, the notice points to Grants.gov for the complete posting and provides a USGS contact for access issues: Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
