Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU (Funding Opportunity Number G12AS20034) is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding opportunity offered under the Cooperative Agreement instrument. It was issued by the USGS as part of its Core Science Systems and Analytics Program, with the central purpose of providing technical assistance that strengthens science delivery and technology transfer related to marine biological and natural resources data and information. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at improving how marine and natural resource datasets and information products are managed, shared, and applied, so that scientific results can move more efficiently from data systems and research outputs into real-world use by agencies, partners, and stakeholders.
The program is situated within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, which is a network of partnership-based cooperative agreements designed to support research, technical assistance, and education addressing natural and cultural resource issues. This specific announcement is tied to the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU, meaning eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in that CESU. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others," but the controlling requirement is CESU membership in the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast unit, so non-partner organizations would not be eligible unless they were already part of that established partnership.
From a funding and award standpoint, the announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $499,000. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that the agency did not specify formal minimum or maximum bounds in the posting even though it provided an overall estimated total funding figure. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity is categorized under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area, and it is associated with CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), indicating alignment with USGS research, data management, and science support missions.
The timeline for the opportunity reflects a short application window. It was created on May 2, 2012, posted on May 4, 2012, and closed on May 14, 2012 (both the original and current closing dates match). The announcement was later archived on August 4, 2012. Applicants needing the full announcement details were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access or submission difficulties was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
