Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Research Units Program FY 2009 (Funding Opportunity Number 09HQPA0008) is a federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to support the Cooperative Research Units (CRU) network, a long-running partnership model that ties together state natural resource agencies, university-based research capacity, federal science and management priorities, and support from a nonprofit organization. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement under a science and technology / research and development activity category (CFDA 15.812). Its core purpose is to sustain and advance applied fish and wildlife research conducted through established Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units located on university campuses, helping translate scientific work into practical outcomes for conservation and natural resource management.
The program itself is described as a unique collaborative relationship involving four main partners: States, Universities, the Federal government, and a nonprofit organization. Operationally, the CRU Program includes 40 Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units hosted on university campuses across 38 states. The program traces back to the 1930s, when the first nine Units were created, and it expanded over time as Congress established additional Units at specified universities. Funding and support for the Units are shared across multiple entities, specifically the USGS, host universities, state natural resource agencies, the Wildlife Management Institute, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This joint support structure is central to how the CRU Program works, leveraging federal scientific expertise and resources alongside university infrastructure and state-level management needs.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Only CRU Cooperating Universities are eligible to apply to the RWO component of the Cooperative Research Unit Program, as authorized under the Cooperative Research Unit Act (Public Law 86-686). In the listing, eligible applicants are categorized broadly as "Others," but the eligibility statement makes clear that participation is restricted to the universities that formally cooperate within the CRU framework. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated for this opportunity.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on September 10, 2008 (created September 8, 2008). The closing date information reflects two relevant deadlines depending on the type of submission: August 28, 2008 for changes that do not involve a change to scope of work or total estimated cost, and July 17, 2009 for submissions involving new work or changes in scope of work or total estimated cost. The opportunity was archived on October 31, 2009, indicating the end of the active announcement period.
For access issues or administrative questions, the announcement lists a point of contact: Jennifer Arnold, Grant Analyst, reachable by phone at (703) 648-7304.
