Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00021) was a US Geological Survey (USGS) funding notice issued through the Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK) to support targeted research on climate change impacts in the northern Great Plains. The core purpose of the project was to improve the ability to predict how changing climate conditions could affect both stream hydrology (things like flow patterns, runoff timing, baseflow, and related water availability) and stream biota (the living organisms tied to these systems, such as aquatic insects, fish, riparian vegetation, and other ecological indicators). The emphasis on prediction suggests the work was expected to produce practical, science-based tools or analyses that help explain likely future conditions, not just document current patterns.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expected to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, coordinating data needs, or integrating results into broader USGS science efforts. The activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, consistent with an applied research project intended to inform management or planning in climate-sensitive stream ecosystems of the northern Great Plains.
Funding for the announcement was relatively small and focused: the estimated total funding amount was $23,500, with one expected award. The posted date and creation date were both January 8, 2013, and the closing date was January 18, 2013, indicating a short application window. The opportunity was later archived on March 8, 2013. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was limited to partners within the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are cooperative, partnership-based networks designed to connect federal agencies with universities, tribal nations, and other research or technical organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. In this case, only organizations that were already participating partners of the Rocky Mountain CESU were eligible to apply, which narrows the field to that established partner roster rather than the general public or all higher education institutions.
The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), signaling that the award was aligned with USGS research and data-gathering activities. For applicants seeking the full announcement at the time, the listing pointed to Grants.gov for complete details and included a contact for access issues: Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 and fgraves@usgs.gov.
