Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00080 is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically the South Florida/Caribbean CESU. The project is framed as science and technology research and development under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). In practical terms, USGS is looking to partner with an eligible CESU member organization to carry out research and related technical work that strengthens understanding of the Everglades ecosystem and improves the tools used to study and manage it.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support work that improves understanding of key components of the Everglades ecosystem while also producing an integrative tool that can be used across empirical studies. Alongside generating scientific insights, the supported effort is intended to contribute to a broader framework for monitoring and for adaptive management. That means the work is expected to be useful not just as a standalone research product, but as something that can feed into ongoing measurement, assessment, and decision-making processes where managers adjust actions over time based on observed ecosystem responses.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project. Rather than simply funding an applicant to work independently, a cooperative agreement usually involves collaboration, coordination, and agency participation in shaping technical approaches, deliverables, and project oversight. The solicitation anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor, suggesting the funding level is guided primarily by the announced estimate and the scope of work proposed, rather than a strict minimum or maximum.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the South Florida/Caribbean CESU Program. CESUs are structured partnerships that connect federal agencies with universities, non-profits, and other research entities to deliver research, technical assistance, and education tied to ecosystem and resource management needs. As a result, this opportunity is not open to the general public or all institutions by default; applicants must confirm they are an official CESU partner under the relevant regional unit to be considered eligible.
Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of June 12, 2015, with the opportunity posted and created on May 26, 2015, and later archived on August 26, 2015. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
