Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20013, is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) financial assistance announcement issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically tied to the Southern Appalachian Mountains CESU. The CESU network is designed to build partnerships that support research, technical assistance, and education related to ecosystem science and management needs. The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, often through collaboration, coordination, or shared responsibilities during the period of performance.
The opportunity falls under the discretionary category and is aligned with the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area. The CFDA number associated with it is 15.808, labeled as U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection, indicating the funding is meant to support research and related data activities rather than, for example, construction or direct service delivery. The total estimated funding available is listed as $80,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically signals that specific award size parameters were not formally bounded in the posting, even though an overall estimated total funding figure was provided.
Eligibility is limited: applicants must be a participating partner of the Southern Appalachian CESU Program. In other words, this is not an open competition for the general public or all universities; it is restricted to organizations already included in that CESU partnership. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," with clarification provided in the eligibility text, reinforcing that only current Southern Appalachian CESU partners can apply. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on February 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 23, 2011, reflecting a relatively short application window.
