Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 08HQPA0012) is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey cooperative agreement issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the South Florida/Caribbean CESU. The project focus is applied research and development in science and technology, with the central deliverable being the implementation and deployment of a web-enabled, GIS-based scenario planning tool for South Florida. The intent is to give planners, resource managers, and the public a practical way to compare land use and development scenarios and see how different choices may affect ecosystem functions as well as human and community outcomes.
At its core, the proposed tool is meant to integrate multiple kinds of information that are often analyzed separately. On the environmental side, it would incorporate ecological data relevant to South Florida ecosystem performance and services. On the human side, it would incorporate socioeconomic information and a set of quality-of-life indicators intended to capture community values and lived experience as land use changes occur. By tying these layers together in a web-accessible GIS environment, the tool is designed to support more transparent evaluation of tradeoffs, allowing users to explore potential impacts of development patterns and policy options across environmental, social, and related dimensions. A stated goal is public-facing decision support: the tool should not only be technically capable but also usable in ways that help the public and stakeholders make informed decisions that balance conservation and development needs.
The award structure is small and specific: the expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, and both the award floor and ceiling set at $25,000, indicating a single fixed-size award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the agency anticipates substantial involvement during the performance of the project (for example, coordination on technical direction, data integration expectations, stakeholder engagement, or deliverable review), rather than a hands-off grant.
Eligibility is limited to partners that participate in the South Florida/Caribbean CESU Program. CESUs are established partnerships designed to provide research, technical assistance, and education, often linking federal agencies with universities and other research or conservation organizations. In practical terms, applicants would need to already be part of that CESU network (or otherwise meet the CESU participation requirements described in the full announcement) to be considered eligible.
Key administrative details include the CFDA number 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The opportunity was posted and created on January 8, 2008, with an original and current closing date of January 18, 2008, and an archive date of February 17, 2008. The listed point of contact for access issues or assistance is Faith Peters, Contract Specialist, at 703-648-7356.
