Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Piedmont Atlantic Coast CESU | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00017) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Piedmont Atlantic Coast CESU. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as technical collaboration, shared planning, or coordination during the research.

The project focus is collaborative research examining how hydrologic variation influences metapopulation dynamics of stream fishes in Georgia, with attention to the Chattahoochee and Flint River systems. In practical terms, the work is aimed at understanding how changes in flow patterns, such as droughts, floods, seasonal variability, and potentially flow alterations related to water management, shape fish populations that exist as interconnected groups across multiple stream segments. Because metapopulation dynamics emphasize local population persistence, extinctions, recolonization, and connectivity among habitats, the research is likely intended to inform management decisions about flow regimes, habitat connectivity, and conservation of stream fish communities in these river basins.

The opportunity anticipates a single award, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $60,000, meaning USGS intends to fund one project at exactly that amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA number is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), signaling that the work aligns with USGS research and data collection priorities.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are active, participating partners in the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU Program. The listing labels eligible applicants as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text, which is common for CESU opportunities because they are restricted competitions within the CESU network rather than open to the general public, all universities, or all nonprofits. In other words, an applicant must already be part of the designated CESU partnership to be considered.

Key dates in the announcement show it was posted December 17, 2012, with an original closing date of December 26, 2012, later updated to a current closing date of January 11, 2013. The record indicates a creation date of January 3, 2013, and an archive date of January 25, 2013, reflecting the historical lifecycle of the opportunity in the grants system.

For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Faith Graves, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356.
