Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit" (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00110), was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) through its National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the award is intended to support a project where there is typically substantial involvement by the federal agency during the period of performance, rather than a hands-off grant arrangement. The activity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, and the specific project focus is described as "NCCWSC Data Steward Activities," indicating research and support work tied to data stewardship functions for NCCWSC.

The opportunity was structured to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $477,582. No cost sharing or matching was required, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and generally makes participation more accessible for eligible partners. The announcement lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, which commonly appears in older or system-generated postings and usually indicates that a specific per-award range was not entered into the public fields, rather than implying there is no funding. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.820, which corresponds to the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center.

Eligibility was limited and specific. Applicants had to be participating partners of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are formal partnership networks designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research entities to provide research, technical assistance, and educational support. Because the funding is issued under the CESU mechanism, the applicant pool is restricted to organizations that are already recognized members of that particular CESU region, and the award is intended to leverage that existing cooperative infrastructure to deliver the required research and data stewardship support.

In terms of timeline, the opportunity was posted on June 29, 2015, with an original and final closing date of July 17, 2015, reflecting a relatively short application window. The archive date is September 29, 2015, indicating when it was moved into an archived status on the posting platform. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a direct point of contact: Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov). The posting also referenced an Additional Information link through Grants.gov for the full announcement details and any application instructions that were not captured in the summary fields.
