Opportunity Summary:
The Near Shoreline Fish Ecology grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09WRPA0001) was published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under CFDA 15.808, which covers USGS research and data collection. It is a discretionary funding opportunity focused on environmental and natural resources work, specifically research related to fish ecology in near-shoreline environments. The announcement itself is very brief in the public listing and points applicants to an attached document for the full technical scope, required tasks, deliverables, and application instructions.
Funding would be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects substantial involvement in the project during performance. In practice, that typically indicates an ongoing partnership model rather than a hands-off grant, with federal scientists and program staff potentially participating in planning, coordination, data decisions, field methods, or review of interim results. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,200,000, and it states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive (unless the attached announcement includes additional expectations).
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to essentially any applicant type, as long as they meet any additional conditions that may be spelled out in the full announcement attachment. That commonly includes universities, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, tribal governments, and private entities, but the listing emphasizes that applicants should confirm eligibility details in the section labeled Additional Information on Eligibility (or equivalent language in the attachment).
The opportunity timeline shows it was posted on September 8, 2008, with an application deadline of November 7, 2008, and it was archived on December 7, 2008. While the listing does not provide the scientific details beyond the title and a reference to an attachment, the subject area implies the project would involve studying fish communities and habitat use close to shorelines, which can include understanding distribution, abundance, life stage habitat needs, movement patterns, and how shoreline conditions influence fish ecology. In near-shore contexts, that kind of work is often tied to management questions such as habitat restoration, shoreline modification impacts, invasive species interactions, water quality and temperature effects, or broader ecosystem monitoring, but the exact objectives and study area would be defined in the attached announcement.
For technical or access issues obtaining the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jeff Caravelli, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at (916) 278-9341, with email contact provided through the announcement interface.
