Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU grant (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00072) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Fort Collins Science Center funding opportunity intended to support applied research that improves habitat planning and management for Greater Sage-Grouse in Wyoming, a region described as keystone for the species. The work is centered on population-focused science, specifically developing or refining population modeling, conducting comparisons across datasets or areas, and producing trend assessments. A major emphasis of the opportunity is that the resulting analyses and data products are not just academic outputs, but are meant to directly inform real-world management and planning decisions at both regional and local scales.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as coordination on study design, data needs, review of deliverables, and ensuring the work remains aligned with management questions. The opportunity falls under the “Science and Technology and other Research and Development” activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The notice anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,790. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which generally means applicants should rely on the total estimated funding figure and the specific scope described in the full announcement for budgeting expectations.
Eligibility is limited to partners within the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to support research, technical assistance, and education through collaboration among federal agencies and partner institutions. In this case, the opportunity is restricted to participating Rocky Mountain CESU partners, rather than being open to the general public or all universities. The description highlights an explicitly cooperative management context, noting ongoing collaboration and commitment among key partners including the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGF). This signals that the project is expected to be responsive to interagency information needs and built to support coordinated decision-making.
Key administrative details include a posted date of May 6, 2015, with an original closing date of May 22, 2015, later extended to a current closing date of June 12, 2015. The archive date is August 6, 2015. The listing directs applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials.
