Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G16AS00086) is a discretionary U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding program run through the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC). It was posted on June 9, 2016, created the same day, and had an application deadline of June 24, 2016. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as collaboration on technical direction, data, methods, or review of deliverables.
The purpose of the award is to support a partner within the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network to advance structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology and demonstrate how those methods can be applied to ecological and environmental research questions. The focus is both methodological and applied: the funded partner would help WARC strengthen and showcase modeling solutions that address common, fundamental challenges encountered when studying ecological systems with quantitative data. In practice, this implies work that may include developing or adapting SEM approaches for complex ecological datasets, clarifying best practices for model design and interpretation, and producing demonstrations or case studies that show how SEM can be used to analyze relationships among environmental drivers, biological responses, and interdependent system components.
The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with CFDA number 15.808. Funding details indicate a single expected award with an award ceiling of $270,000, suggesting a targeted project with a defined scope rather than a broad multi-award program. Eligibility is limited to applicants classified as "Others" as further defined in the opportunity materials, and specifically references a CESU partner, meaning applicants generally must be part of (or otherwise qualify under) the relevant CESU partnership framework.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to build capacity and deliver practical, research-ready SEM tools and examples that USGS WARC can use to improve how it answers ecological and environmental questions, especially where multiple interacting processes and indirect effects need to be quantified and communicated through rigorous statistical modeling.
