Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, South Florida/Caribbean CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G12AS20064) is a small, targeted research funding announcement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the Florida Water Science Center (FWSC). The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means USGS expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The work being sought is research that uses physical experiments to evaluate or refine parameters that will be used in regional numerical models, aligning the project squarely with science and technology research and development activities under CFDA 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection). In practical terms, the funded partner would be expected to generate experimental, real-world measurements that can improve how large-scale water or environmental models are calibrated and parameterized, increasing confidence in regional modeling results.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in the South Florida/Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations to provide research, technical assistance, and educational support. Because the opportunity is issued under the CESU framework, it is not a general open competition for all applicants; the applicant must be a recognized CESU partner in that specific regional unit. The listing shows the eligible applicant category broadly as "Others," but the controlling requirement is the CESU partnership status stated in the eligibility details.
The funding amount is modest, with an estimated total program funding of $5,000 and an expectation of a single award. The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award. The posting date was June 25, 2012, with a current closing date listed as July 27, 2012 (the original closing date was July 6, 2012, suggesting the deadline was extended). The opportunity was archived on September 25, 2012, meaning it is no longer active as a current competition, but the details remain useful for understanding the type of projects USGS FWSC solicited under the CESU mechanism.
For access to the full announcement, the opportunity references Grants.gov as the additional information link. The contact provided for assistance, including issues accessing the announcement electronically, is Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 and fgraves@usgs.gov.
