Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program to support research focused on the use of microcosms to evaluate the effects of elevated major ions. In practical terms, the project is aimed at improving scientific understanding of how increased concentrations of common dissolved ions (for example, salts and other major inorganic constituents in water) can affect ecological conditions, using controlled microcosm experiments as the primary study approach. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on study design, data collection, analysis, or reporting.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00066; CFDA 15.808, U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection) anticipated making a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $100,082. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the applied research nature of the work.
Eligibility was restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in the Rocky Mountain CESU network. CESUs are formal partnerships intended to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education that support natural and cultural resource management. Because of that structure, applicants needed to be within the Rocky Mountain CESU partnership rather than the general public or any institution nationwide.
Key dates indicate the announcement was posted and created on June 17, 2013, with an original and final closing date of June 27, 2013, and it was archived on September 17, 2013. Additional details were available through Grants.gov (the notice references an additional information link at http://www.grants.gov/). For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Faith Graves (703-648-7356; fgraves@usgs.gov).
