Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00056), titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU," was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC). It is a discretionary funding opportunity that will be awarded as a cooperative agreement, meaning the USGS is likely to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The program sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, and it is tied to CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection).
The purpose of the award is to support research that improves how geographic information system (GIS) work is performed for natural resource decision-making. The announcement emphasizes two connected themes: first, developing or refining GIS processes (workflows, methods, and analytical steps) so they are more effective and reliable; and second, evaluating conditions before and after events (pre- and post-event assessments). While the notice does not specify particular event types, this kind of language typically points to disturbances that affect ecosystems and resource management decisions, such as storms, floods, coastal change, habitat loss, spills, or other natural and human-caused impacts. The expected end result is not just a one-off analysis, but improvements to analysis tools and processes that agencies can use to make better, more informed management decisions.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at a total of $107,000, with one award expected. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which usually indicates that the agency did not set a formal maximum or minimum in the public summary and that applicants should rely on the full announcement for any internal budgeting constraints or expectations. 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.
Eligibility is restricted. Applications are only open to organizations that are already participating partners in the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are structured partnerships intended to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. In practical terms, if an organization is not formally a Gulf Coast CESU partner, it would not be eligible for this particular funding opportunity.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on March 18, 2015, and it closed on March 26, 2015, with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date. The opportunity was later archived on June 18, 2015. For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Faith Graves (703-648-7356, fgraves@usgs.gov). The announcement also pointed applicants to Grants.gov for the additional information link.
