Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20078) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement for a single cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program, specifically the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU. The core purpose is to support science and technology research that examines how changes in river flow and water temperature influence the spawning behavior of the Robust redhorse (Moxostoma robustum) in the Savannah River along the Georgia and South Carolina border. In practical terms, the project is aimed at improving understanding of environmental conditions that trigger, support, or disrupt spawning so agencies and partners can make better-informed management decisions for the species and its habitat.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which usually means USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, collaboration on study design, coordination on field work or data standards, joint interpretation, or integration of results into USGS science products). The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA program is 15.808, US Geological Survey Research and Data Collection. USGS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $43,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically indicates the announcement is not using those fields to set a formal per-award range, but the total expected funding level is provided.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU network. CESUs are established partnerships designed to streamline collaboration between federal agencies and non-federal partners (often universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations) to provide research, technical assistance, and education aligned with natural and cultural resource management needs. Because of that structure, entities outside the CESU partnership are not eligible unless they join the relevant CESU in accordance with program rules.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted on August 4, 2011, with the original and current closing date both listed as August 15, 2011, and the opportunity later archived on November 3, 2011. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement, and USGS provided a point of contact for access issues: Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
