Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), through its Southwest Biological Science Center, announced a discretionary funding opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Colorado Plateau CESU. Issued as a cooperative agreement, the project is focused on science and technology research and development that supports vegetation analysis using remotely sensed data. The work is intended to improve understanding and assessment of vegetation conditions and patterns across key ecosystems in the southwestern United States, with an emphasis on both riparian and desert environments.
The technical scope centers on analyzing vegetation using remote sensing methods and datasets. The geographic focus includes riparian vegetation on the Colorado Plateau, explicitly including areas along the Colorado River in Arizona, as well as desert vegetation across the broader U.S. Southwest. In practical terms, this type of project typically involves leveraging satellite or aerial imagery and related geospatial products to characterize vegetation cover, health, distribution, and change over time, supporting land and resource management needs in arid and semi-arid landscapes.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners within the Colorado Plateau CESU network. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research or technical organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and educational services. Because the opportunity is issued under the CESU framework, applicants must be recognized partners of the Colorado Plateau CESU to be considered; it is not a general open competition for all applicant types.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $264,931. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is G15AS00066, and it is associated with CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The announcement was posted on April 28, 2015, with an application closing date of May 15, 2015, and it was later archived on October 28, 2015.
For applicants or interested parties needing access to the full announcement or assistance, the listed contact was Faith Graves at USGS (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov). Additional details were made available through Grants.gov under the provided link in the announcement.
