Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 08HQPA0023) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cooperative agreement issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Rocky Mountain CESU network. The work is being requested by the Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERCE), which is seeking support to produce high-resolution climate projections tailored to the main Hawaiian Islands. The central aim is to generate spatially detailed climate projection products that can be used in downstream ecological modeling, especially to examine how future climate conditions could affect where Hawaiian plant and animal species may be able to live in coming decades.
The project scope focuses on developing climate projections for at least two future time horizons: 2050 and 2100. A key requirement is that these projections be high resolution and suitable for mapping at a scale of 1:100,000, indicating the products must be detailed enough to support island-scale and landscape-scale analyses rather than broad regional summaries. In addition to producing the projections themselves, the selected applicant is expected to collaborate closely with USGS staff to translate the climate projection outputs into ArcGIS-compatible spatial datasets. This translation component is a major part of the deliverable because the final datasets need to be readily usable within GIS-based workflows that model potential changes in species range distributions across the Hawaiian Islands.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally implies substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during project execution. The announcement indicates that the estimated total funding is $22,798, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $22,798, suggesting USGS anticipated making a single award for a fixed amount. Only one award was expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal funds to complete the work.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations participating in the Rocky Mountain CESU network. CESUs are partnership networks designed to provide research, technical assistance, and education, and this announcement invites all eligible members of that network to apply. The opportunity was posted on May 6, 2008, with an application closing date of May 19, 2008, and it was later archived on June 18, 2008. A firm project delivery deadline is included: the completed climate projection products and associated GIS data needed to be transmitted to PIERCE no later than September 15, 2008, which implies a relatively short performance window and a need for an applicant that could execute quickly and coordinate efficiently with USGS personnel.
For reference, the program is associated with CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection) under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The listed point of contact for access issues with the full announcement is Faith Peters, Contract Specialist, at 703-648-7356.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which federal agency is offering this opportunity?
This opportunity is offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
What type of funding instrument will be used?
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that the award is a cooperative agreement?
Based on the announcement, a cooperative agreement generally implies substantial involvement or collaboration by USGS during project execution, rather than a fully hands-off award.
What program and network is this opportunity issued through?
This opportunity is issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Rocky Mountain CESU network.
Who is requesting the work?
The work is being requested by the Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERCE).
What is the main purpose of the project?
The central aim is to produce high-resolution climate projections tailored to the main Hawaiian Islands, with products that can be used in downstream ecological modeling.
What will the climate projections be used for?
The projections are intended to support ecological modeling, especially analyses of how future climate conditions could affect where Hawaiian plant and animal species may be able to live in coming decades (for example, modeling potential changes in species range distributions).
What geographic area must the projections cover?
The projections are tailored to the main Hawaiian Islands.
What time horizons must be included in the climate projections?
The scope calls for projections for at least two future time horizons: 2050 and 2100.
How detailed do the climate projection products need to be?
The projections must be high resolution and suitable for mapping at a scale of 1:100,000, meaning the products should support island-scale and landscape-scale analyses rather than broad regional summaries.
Are GIS-ready deliverables required?
Yes. The selected applicant is expected to collaborate closely with USGS staff to translate the climate projection outputs into ArcGIS-compatible spatial datasets.
Why is the ArcGIS-compatible translation component important?
