Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically through the Southern Appalachian CESU. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The purpose of the project is to obtain research and technical assistance to support chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance research already being conducted in Shenandoah National Park. In practical terms, the work is meant to strengthen or expand efforts to detect, monitor, and better understand CWD in the park setting, with the recipient providing scientific and technical capacity aligned with USGS needs.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G12AS20076) falls under the science and technology/research and development activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.808, U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection. USGS anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $28,000. The posting date and creation date were July 30, 2012, and the closing date for applications was August 8, 2012, indicating a short application window. The notice was later archived on October 30, 2012. The announcement lists no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0 in the notice, which typically signals that the exact award range was not specified in those fields even though an estimated total funding amount was provided.
Eligibility was limited to partners participating in the Southern Appalachian CESU. CESUs are collaborative partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. In this case, the eligible applicant pool is not open to the general public or all institutions; only organizations that are already established as participating partners in the Southern Appalachian CESU could apply. The administering agency is the Geological Survey (USGS), and the official announcement was made available via Grants.gov, with an additional information link provided in the listing.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed was Faith Graves at USGS, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov.
