Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Research Units Program FY 2011 (Funding Opportunity Number 11HQPA0020) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support applied science and research and development tied to fish and wildlife management needs. The program is built around a long-running partnership model that links state natural resource agencies, universities, the federal government, and a nonprofit partner. It operates through 40 Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units located on university campuses across 38 states, reflecting a nationwide network that has existed in some form since the 1930s, when the first nine units were created. Over time, Congress established additional units at specific universities, expanding the program into its current footprint.
At its core, the opportunity supports the Cooperative Research Units (CRU) framework, which is jointly backed by several partners: the US Geological Survey, host universities, state natural resource agencies, the Wildlife Management Institute, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. This structure is intended to blend academic research capacity with real-world management priorities, creating a pipeline where university-based scientists and students can work on pressing fish and wildlife issues that matter directly to state and federal resource managers.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.812 (Cooperative Research Units Program) and is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should generally expect substantial federal involvement or coordination during the life of the project compared with a standard grant. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is restricted. Only CRU Cooperating Universities may apply to the Research Work Order (RWO) component of the Cooperative Research Unit Program, consistent with the Cooperative Research Unit Act (Public Law 86-686). In other words, this is not an open competition for all universities or organizations; it is specifically for the designated cooperating universities that host these federally authorized units.
Key dates listed in the notice include a posted and creation date of August 31, 2010. The closing date is presented in two parts: July 12, 2011 for submissions involving new work or changes in scope of work or total estimated cost, and August 29, 2011 for other changes that do not alter scope or total estimated cost. The opportunity was archived on October 31, 2011.
