Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20005, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit," was a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The CESU framework is built around formal partnerships designed to support applied science by providing research, technical assistance, and education that help address natural and cultural resource management needs. This particular announcement was limited to partners within the Desert Southwest CESU, meaning only organizations that were already participating members of that specific CESU network were eligible to apply.
The opportunity fell under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and was associated with CFDA number 15.808 (USGS Research and Data Collection). USGS expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000. The notice listed no award ceiling or floor, which typically means the agency did not specify formal upper or lower dollar limits in the announcement text even though an estimated total amount was provided. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The announcement timeline indicates it was posted and created on January 25, 2011, with an original and final closing date of February 7, 2011, reflecting a short application window. The opportunity was later archived on March 18, 2011.
