Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Pacific Northwest CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00023) was a US Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program solicitation aimed at supporting applied research on high-frequency, time-intensive water-chemistry sampling in rivers and streams across the contiguous United States. The central purpose was to advance field use of automated water samplers that were being developed to collect water at user-defined, programmable intervals, with a specific emphasis on capturing pesticide concentrations through time. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on moving beyond instrument development into real-world deployment, testing, and refinement: figuring out how these automated samplers perform under field conditions, how to integrate them into study designs, and how to generate reliable, temporally dense datasets that better represent changing water-quality conditions than traditional periodic grab sampling.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning USGS anticipated substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than a more hands-off grant relationship. The activity category was Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it was tied to CFDA 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection). USGS expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which typically indicates the agency did not publish formal minimum/maximum award limits in the listing even though a total estimated amount was provided.
Eligibility was limited to organizations that were already participating partners in the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network. CESUs are structured partnerships that connect federal agencies with universities and other research organizations to provide research, technical assistance, and education in support of resource and ecosystem management needs. As a result, this opportunity was not open broadly to the general public; it was restricted to the Pacific Northwest CESU partner community (the listing describes eligible applicants as “Others,†clarified through the CESU participation requirement).
Timing details indicate the opportunity was posted and created on January 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of January 18, 2013, and later archived on March 8, 2013. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for additional information, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
