Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00012) was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the Western Ecological Research Center, as a discretionary funding announcement to support a single research project under a cooperative agreement. The project is titled "Conservation Corridors for Desert Tortoises" and is framed as a science and technology or other research and development effort. The main goal is to improve understanding of population connectivity in desert tortoises by identifying existing landscape corridors that could support movement between populations and help maintain gene flow. In practical terms, the work is focused on where tortoises may be able to move across the landscape now (or with minimal intervention) in ways that reduce isolation and support long-term conservation outcomes.
The opportunity is offered through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is a network of partnerships designed to facilitate collaborative research, technical assistance, and education in support of natural and cultural resource management. Eligibility is limited: applicants must already be a participating partner within the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU (PSAC CESU). Although the research topic centers on desert tortoises, the administrative vehicle for awarding funds is the PSAC CESU partnership framework. Only one award was expected, indicating a targeted, single-recipient selection rather than a broad competitive multi-award program.
The estimated total funding available for this project was $50,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically reflects that the specific award amount is defined by the available funding and the final negotiated agreement rather than a preset cap in the listing itself, but the stated estimate provides the practical funding expectation. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the award is 15.808, labeled U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection, which signals that the work is intended to generate applied scientific information and data products that USGS and partners can use for management and conservation planning.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on December 5, 2012, with an original and current closing date of December 14, 2012, meaning the application window was short. Prospective applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials.
