Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G13AS00100) is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) funding announcement issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program for the South Florida/Caribbean CESU. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to be substantially involved in the work as it is carried out (for example, through collaboration on methods, coordination, data sharing, and ongoing technical input), rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The program area is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development under CFDA 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection).
The purpose of the opportunity is to support research and technical assistance focused on setting conservation targets for the Peninsular Florida Landscape Conservation Cooperative. In practical terms, the work is aimed at developing and clearly documenting how conservation targets are chosen and defined for the landscape, using creative and well-justified methods. The emphasis is not only on the targets themselves, but also on the process: how targets are selected, what information and criteria are used, how uncertainties are handled, and how the approach can be communicated and used by partners making conservation and restoration decisions.
The announcement is tied to USGS work supporting Greater Everglades restoration across South Florida. USGS scientists, along with federal, state, and local partners, conduct ecological and hydrological research and monitoring to improve understanding of restoration outcomes and the ways climate change and sea level rise may affect ecosystem restoration. The funding is intended to generate information that can feed directly into decision-making during ongoing restoration efforts, strengthening the scientific basis for setting priorities and measuring progress.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners in the South Florida/Caribbean CESU. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted in the announcement.
The USGS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,200. The posting date was July 15, 2013, with an application closing date of July 26, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived on October 15, 2013. The listing provides an additional information link through Grants.gov and identifies a USGS contact for access issues: Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov).
