Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G12AS20041) is a discretionary US Geological Survey (USGS) funding announcement issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808, US Geological Survey Research and Data Collection. It was posted on May 16, 2012, created in the system on June 4, 2012, and ultimately closed on June 12, 2012 (originally May 30, 2012). USGS anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The focus of the work is tied to the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP), and the project is centered on building and sustaining the technical web presence that supports PNAMP information delivery. The funded partner would provide web hosting services, develop and maintain the underlying website framework, and perform ongoing, regular website maintenance. In practical terms, this means ensuring the PNAMP website remains operational, secure, and up to date while also improving or sustaining the site architecture that allows content to be published, organized, and accessed reliably over time.
A key goal is to make biological and natural resources information available across a range of themes and geographic areas and at multiple scales, and to ensure that this information is accessible through the PNAMP website at http://www.pnamp.org. The intended users extend beyond a narrow technical audience and include natural resource research and management communities, their partners, other stakeholders, and the general public. Because of that broad audience, the opportunity emphasizes information organization and presentation. The expectation is not only that data and resources are posted online, but that they are structured in a way that supports easy navigation, efficient search and browsing, and overall information discovery, so users can find what they need without specialized knowledge of how the site is built.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are participating partners of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofit organizations, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. In this case, only those entities already within the Rocky Mountain CESU network are eligible to receive the cooperative agreement, reflecting the program structure that channels certain kinds of collaborative work through established CESU partnerships.
