Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) grant opportunity identified as Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20017 is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement focused on the Desert Southwest CESU. It was offered under the CESU Program, which is a national network of cooperative partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofits, and other partners to support research, technical assistance, and education related to ecosystem and natural resource issues. In this particular case, the opportunity is tied specifically to the Desert Southwest Ecosystem Studies Unit, meaning the work supported would be expected to align with the scientific and management priorities relevant to desert and arid-land ecosystems in the southwestern United States.

This opportunity used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument rather than a standard grant. In practical terms, that typically indicates the USGS anticipated having substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on project direction, providing scientific or technical input, coordinating data collection or analysis, or otherwise working closely with the recipient throughout the period of performance. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA program number is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS Research and Data Collection. The announcement projected a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $30,255. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which usually means the agency did not specify minimum or maximum award limits in the public synopsis, not that the award amount would be zero.

Eligibility was limited to partners already participating in the Desert Southwest CESU Program. The Eligible Applicants field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and the clarifying eligibility statement is straightforward: to apply, an organization had to be a participating partner of the Desert Southwest CESU. This is typical of CESU announcements, since CESUs operate as established cooperative networks with defined partner institutions, and many funding actions are intended to be competed or solicited within that partnership framework. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on March 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 24, 2011, indicating a short application window of roughly nine days. The opportunity was later archived on June 14, 2011, which generally means it was no longer active on Grants.gov after that point. For applicants or interested parties who needed assistance accessing the complete announcement, the listed point of contact was Faith Graves, Contract Specialist at USGS, reachable by phone at 703-648-7356 or by email at fgraves@usgs.gov. The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full posting and supporting documents.
