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

Opportunity Summary:

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior (DOI), posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G16AS00037). The award is being offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity falls under science and technology and other research and development, and it is listed under CFDA 15.808.

This opportunity is specifically aimed at an eligible partner within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, and more narrowly tied to the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU. The eligibility category is listed as "Others," with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section, but the core point is that it is not broadly open to all applicants; it is intended for a CESU partner organization that meets the program requirements. In practical terms, CESUs are cooperative partnerships that often include universities, nonprofits, and other research institutions working with federal agencies to provide applied science support, technical assistance, and research.

The purpose of the project is to fund research that supports the development and deployment of the Department of the Interior Strategic Sciences Group (SSG). While the notice does not provide detailed tasking in the excerpt provided, the emphasis is on enabling or strengthening SSG efforts, which generally involve rapid, decision-focused scientific assessment and synthesis to inform policy and management actions across DOI missions. The funded work would likely contribute to building methods, tools, frameworks, data synthesis, scenario analysis, or other research outputs that help the SSG operate effectively and be deployed when needed.

The funding level is relatively small and targeted: the award ceiling is $35,000, with one award expected. The opportunity was created and posted on February 29, 2016, with an application closing date of March 14, 2016. Overall, it is a narrowly scoped, single-award cooperative agreement intended to leverage a CESU partner's research capacity to support DOI strategic science capabilities through the Strategic Sciences Group.
