Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Pacific Northwest CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00036) was a USGS Alaska Science Center funding call designed to support research focused on how polar bear activity levels change in response to seasonal variation in sea ice conditions in the Chukchi Sea and the southern Beaufort Sea. The central purpose of the project was to improve understanding of the mechanisms behind polar bear behavioral responses as sea ice habitat availability shifts, which is a key issue for assessing how Arctic marine mammals may be affected by ongoing environmental change. The work falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is tied to the USGS program area for research and data collection (CFDA 15.808).
The award mechanism for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from the federal agency rather than operating as a more hands-off grant. USGS anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants were not expected to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving the award. The notice listed award ceiling and floor as $0, which commonly indicates that exact award sizing and constraints are described in the full announcement or are otherwise flexible within the available funding, rather than being bounded by preset minimums and maximums in the summary record.
Eligibility was restricted to partners within the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are collaborative networks that connect federal agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofits, and other research organizations to deliver applied research, technical assistance, and education. For this competition, only entities that were already participating partners of the Pacific Northwest CESU were eligible to apply, and the opportunity category was listed as discretionary.
Key administrative dates show the announcement was posted and created on March 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2013, indicating a short application window. The opportunity was archived on June 7, 2013. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov at the time. The point of contact listed for access issues was Faith Graves at the USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
