Cooperative Research Units Program FY 2015 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Research Units Program FY 2015 (Funding Opportunity Number G15AS00004) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding opportunity that supports collaborative, applied research and training in fish and wildlife science through the long-running Cooperative Research Units (CRU) network. The program is built around a formal partnership model that brings together state natural resource agencies, universities, the federal government, and a nonprofit partner to address real-world conservation and management needs. In practical terms, the opportunity is tied to the work of 40 Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units located on university campuses across 38 states, a nationwide infrastructure that has existed in some form since the first nine units were established in the 1930s and later expanded through congressional action at specific universities.

The purpose of the program is to sustain and advance cooperative research and related scientific activities conducted through these established units, leveraging the strengths of each partner. USGS is the named federal agency, host universities provide the campus base and academic environment, state agencies contribute management priorities and on-the-ground needs, the Wildlife Management Institute participates as the nonprofit partner, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also part of the joint support structure. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.812, which corresponds to the Cooperative Research Units Program.

Awards under this announcement are made using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that substantial federal involvement is expected during the performance of the work compared with a standard grant. The posting date and creation date are both September 18, 2014. The closing date is August 12, 2015, with an additional earlier date of June 23, 2015 referenced for submissions involving new work or changes in scope of work or total estimated cost, and August 12, 2015 referenced for other changes not involving scope or total cost. The opportunity was archived on October 31, 2015. The listing does not specify estimated total funding or typical award size, showing $0 for estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor, which usually means the public synopsis does not provide those figures rather than implying no funds are available.

Eligibility is restricted by statute. Only CRU Cooperating Universities are eligible to apply to the RWO component of the Cooperative Research Unit Program, pursuant to the Cooperative Research Unit Act (Public Law 86-686). The eligible applicant category is therefore effectively limited to those designated cooperating institutions within the CRU system, rather than open competition among all universities or organizations. The announcement directs applicants to Grants.gov for full details, and provides a contact for access issues: Shana Coulby at (703) 648-4361 via the Cooperative Unit Headquarters Office staff.
