Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, South Florida/Caribbean CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00107) was a US Geological Survey (USGS) funding announcement released through the USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center (SESC). It focused on supporting research tied directly to Everglades restoration efforts, specifically research that models how invasive species affect the Everglades ecosystem. The intent was to produce scientific and technical work that improves understanding of invasive species impacts and helps inform restoration planning, management decisions, and long-term ecosystem outcomes in the Everglades.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. The activity category was classified under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it fell under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $27,774. The listing showed an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is commonly how some postings appear when exact bounds are not specified in that particular field, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere in the notice.
Eligibility was limited in a specific way because the funding was issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with participating organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. For this particular notice, applicants had to be active partners within the South Florida/Caribbean CESU. In other words, it was not an open competition for the general public or any university by default; an organization needed to be a recognized participant in that CESU network to be eligible.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on June 26, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2014. It was later archived on September 26, 2014, meaning it is no longer active. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so applicants were not expected to provide additional non-federal contributions as a condition of receiving the award.
For access and administrative details, the announcement pointed applicants to Grants.gov for the full posting and supporting materials. A contact person was provided for help obtaining the full announcement if there were issues accessing it electronically: Faith Graves, reachable at 703-648-7356 and fgraves@usgs.gov.
