Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20096) was a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement issued through the Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK). The project focus was research and related scientific work aimed at predicting how climate change could affect both hydrology (streamflow patterns, timing, water availability, and related watershed processes) and biota (aquatic and riparian plants and animals, including broader ecological communities) in streams across the northern Great Plains. In practical terms, the intent was to support applied science that helps anticipate climate-driven changes to stream systems and the organisms that depend on them, which can inform future management, conservation, and resource planning in that region.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expected to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on study design, data collection approaches, analysis, reporting, or coordination with other related USGS efforts. The activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, consistent with a research-centered award supporting data collection, modeling, ecological assessment, and interpretation tied to climate impacts.
This announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $35,921. The listing showed no stated award ceiling or floor (both recorded as 0), which typically means the specific budget constraints were described in the full announcement or were to be determined based on the submitted proposal and negotiated scope. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was restricted to organizations that were already participating partners of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are collaborative networks designed to connect federal agencies with universities, non-profits, tribes, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. Because this opportunity was issued under the CESU authority, only members of the Rocky Mountain CESU partnership were eligible to apply, and the announcement directed applicants to consult the eligibility clarification in the full posting.
Key administrative details include the CFDA number 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The opportunity was posted on August 22, 2011, with an application closing date of September 1, 2011, and it was later archived on November 18, 2011. The primary public reference point was Grants.gov (the announcement included an additional information link to http://www.grants.gov/). For assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Faith Graves at USGS, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov.
