Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Pacific Northwest CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00049), is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically the Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center. It is focused on science and technology research that helps move ecosystem services work (assessment and valuation) into practical use within Federal decision making. In other words, the intent is to support research that can translate the idea of "ecosystem services" (the benefits people receive from ecosystems, such as water filtration, flood mitigation, recreation, habitat support, and other measurable contributions) into methods, tools, or evidence that Federal agencies can actually use when evaluating actions, alternatives, and tradeoffs.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the Federal agency during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which usually means the amount is governed by the total funds available and the project scope rather than a fixed minimum or maximum per application. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-Federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited by the structure of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit program. This opportunity is issued under the CESU framework, which is a network of partnerships designed to provide research, technical assistance, and education support for resource management agencies. For this specific notice, eligible applicants must already be participating partners in the Pacific Northwest CESU Program. The "EligibleApplicants" field is broadly categorized as "Others," but the controlling requirement is CESU partner status within the Pacific Northwest CESU, meaning organizations outside that partnership would not be eligible unless they are formally part of the unit.
From an administrative standpoint, the relevant CFDA number is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The opportunity was posted and created on May 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2013, indicating a short application window of about 10 days. The archive date is August 20, 2013, meaning it is an older, closed opportunity rather than an open solicitation. The agency name is listed as Geological Survey, referring to the USGS.
