Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00063, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Southern Appalachian CESU," is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The announcement was posted on April 8, 2015, with an application deadline of April 24, 2015, and it was later archived on July 8, 2015. USGS anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $110,000. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The purpose of the project is to support collaborative research focused on artificial beach nourishment, specifically through field and laboratory studies designed to map and study nourishment activities. In practical terms, this centers on improving the understanding of how placed beach material behaves and changes over time, and how those changes affect coastal systems. The work is intended to generate actionable information, meaning results that can directly inform decision-making and management, rather than purely theoretical findings.
The expected outcomes are framed around coastal resilience. By better documenting and analyzing artificial nourishment activities, the project aims to strengthen the ability of coastal infrastructure and coastal habitats to withstand and recover from future storms and the long-term effects of sea level rise. This emphasis suggests the research is meant to be useful for planning and evaluating shoreline protection measures, understanding habitat impacts, and improving strategies that communities and resource managers use to reduce risk in dynamic coastal environments.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already participating partners in the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are partnership-based networks that facilitate research, technical assistance, and education collaborations between federal agencies and non-federal partners. In this case, applicants outside that CESU partnership are not eligible, as the opportunity is explicitly issued under the CESU mechanism and limited to Southern Appalachian CESU partners.
