Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) grant opportunity listed under Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20007 is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Program, specifically the Pacific Northwest CESU. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofits, and other partners to deliver applied research, technical assistance, and education that support natural and cultural resource management. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant to fund a project (or set of closely related tasks) that fits within the Pacific Northwest CESU network and advances science and management needs aligned with USGS and CESU objectives.

The award mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, not a standard grant. That distinction matters because cooperative agreements typically involve more substantial federal participation during the project, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or shared responsibilities during implementation. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.808, identified as U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection. The announcement indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. No explicit award ceiling or floor is stated (both fields are listed as $0), which generally signals that applicants should rely on the total estimated funding figure and the specific announcement instructions for what constitutes an appropriate budget request.

Eligibility is limited and very specific. Applicants must be participating partners of the Pacific Northwest CESU Program. The eligible applicant type is broadly labeled as "Others" with additional clarification provided in the eligibility text, which is the key constraint: if an organization is not already a recognized partner within that CESU network, it would not be eligible to apply under this particular announcement. The CESU structure is intended to streamline collaboration with pre-qualified partners, so eligibility is designed to ensure the applicant is already part of the established Pacific Northwest CESU partnership framework.

From a timing standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on February 8, 2011. The original closing date was February 18, 2011, and the current closing date was extended to February 28, 2011. The opportunity was archived on April 30, 2011. Those dates are important for understanding that this is a historical listing, but they also show that the application window was short, which is common for targeted CESU opportunities that are directed to existing network partners and are often tied to a specific program need or a defined scope of work.

The listing points applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement details via the additional information link (http://www.grants.gov/). For support accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact provided is Faith Graves, Contract Specialist at USGS, reachable at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov.
