Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00058) was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the National Wetlands Research Center, under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. It is a discretionary funding opportunity that will be awarded as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply providing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. The program sits in the science and technology/research and development category and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.808, USGS Research and Data Collection.
The project’s core purpose is to strengthen and continue collaboration between the USGS and a university partner within the Piedmont South Atlantic CESU network. The scientific focus is climate change-related research in tidal freshwater forested wetlands along the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia. The work is aimed at understanding biogeochemical fluxes (the movement and cycling of elements and compounds such as carbon, nitrogen, nutrients, and related greenhouse gases through soil, water, and vegetation) and structural shifts in these wetland ecosystems as they transition from forested wetlands to marsh. This kind of transition is often associated with sea level rise, saltwater intrusion, altered hydrology, and other climate-driven stressors, and it can significantly change ecosystem services, habitat value, carbon storage, and water quality functions.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at a total of $200,000, with the expectation of making a single award. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is a common data-entry artifact in some archived federal postings and does not necessarily mean the award amount is zero; the estimated total funding figure provides the practical scale of the opportunity. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are official partners in the Piedmont South Atlantic Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Program. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to provide research, technical assistance, and education aligned with public resource and environmental management needs. Because eligibility is limited in this way, it is not an open competition for the general public or for institutions outside the CESU partnership.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted and created on April 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on July 14, 2014, indicating it is no longer active, but it remains a useful reference for the type of USGS-CESU collaborative research projects supported in this region and topic area.
For official details and full announcement materials, the posting directs applicants to Grants.gov (https://grants.gov/). The listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Faith Graves at the USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
