Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00094) was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the Fort Collins Science Center (FORT), to support a focused research project on the boreal toad. The core purpose of the project is to use genetic information to identify patterns of genetic divergence across boreal toad populations and to translate those findings into practical conservation units. In other words, the work is meant to clarify how different groups of boreal toads are genetically structured across their range, where meaningful genetic boundaries occur, and how those boundaries should inform management decisions such as protection priorities, recovery planning, and potential translocation or reintroduction strategies.
The award was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that USGS expected to be substantially involved during the project rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The funding activity category is listed as science and technology and other research and development, aligning with the genetics and conservation science emphasis. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $18,593. The notice did not specify a formal award ceiling or floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was restricted to partners within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, and more specifically to participating members of the South Florida Caribbean CESU Program. CESUs are structured partnerships intended to streamline collaborative research, technical assistance, and educational work among federal agencies and partner institutions. Because of this restriction, the competition was not open to the general public or to organizations outside that CESU partnership. The listing’s eligible applicants field is summarized as “Others,†with clarification in the eligibility text indicating that only South Florida Caribbean CESU partners could apply.
Key administrative details include a posted date of June 29, 2015, with both the original and current closing date set for July 17, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on September 29, 2015. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), tying the project to USGS’s broader authority and mission for scientific research and data gathering. For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
