Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, South Florida/Caribbean CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G14AS00129), is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding announcement issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection). It is designed to support applied science and research and development that informs restoration planning and decision-making for the Greater Everglades in South Florida, with a specific emphasis on how restoration alternatives perform under emerging environmental stressors.
The core purpose is to fund a CESU partner that can conduct ecological research providing a scientifically grounded assessment of ecosystem responses to Greater Everglades restoration options in the face of climate change, sea level rise, and shifting salinity conditions. The work is framed around understanding salinity dynamics and their impacts across estuarine and freshwater wetland ecosystems, recognizing that altered freshwater flows, rising seas, and climate-driven changes can reshape habitat conditions, species distributions, and overall ecosystem function. The research is expected to generate information that helps evaluate tradeoffs and outcomes of restoration actions as conditions change over time.
USGS offices leading this effort are the Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystems Science group in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the Southeast Ecological Science Center in Gainesville, Florida. The opportunity sits within USGS support for the broader Greater Everglades restoration effort, which is carried out in coordination with major federal and non-federal partners, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and state, tribal, and local entities. In practical terms, the project is meant to complement and strengthen the science foundation behind restoration planning by producing research results that can be used directly in evaluating restoration alternatives under future conditions.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the South Florida/Caribbean CESU network. CESUs are structured partnerships intended to facilitate research, technical assistance, and education, and this opportunity is restricted to that partner community rather than being open to the general public or all institution types. The announcement lists the eligible applicant category broadly as "Others," but clarifies that the applicant must be a CESU partner.
In terms of award details, USGS anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $156,980. The posting date was July 28, 2014, with a creation date of August 11, 2014. The original closing date was August 8, 2014, later extended to August 15, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on September 7, 2014. The announcement indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. Award floor and ceiling are both listed as 0, which typically signals that the agency did not specify formal minimum or maximum bounds in the public listing, even though an estimated total amount and expected award count are provided.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Faith Graves, Contract Specialist/Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356.
