Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00028
This funding opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00028), is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is issued through the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC) and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 15.808.
The core purpose of the award is to support a CESU partner in research and development focused on creating custom software tools that can bring multiple types of natural resource data together in a usable and integrated way. Specifically, the project is aimed at software development that links geo-environmental survey information with habitat and vegetation datasets and species population data, with alligators provided as a clear example of the kinds of species data that might be incorporated. The emphasis is on integration and usability: the intent is not simply to analyze a single dataset, but to build tools that combine spatial and ecological information streams so they can be applied more effectively in real-world research and management contexts.
The opportunity is framed around producing outcomes that will benefit the broader community involved in ecological research, population modeling, and resource management. In practice, that suggests deliverables that could support better population assessments, improve modeling workflows, streamline how field and survey data are turned into management-relevant products, and help agencies and researchers make decisions based on a more complete picture of habitat conditions and species status. Because the focus is on custom tool development, the work likely involves designing data pipelines, implementing geospatial and database components, and creating interfaces or analytical modules that allow users to query, visualize, and analyze combined environmental and biological datasets in a consistent framework.
Eligibility is restricted to a partner within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically under the Gulf Coast CESU, with the official eligibility category listed as "Others" and further clarified in the full announcement's eligibility section. The total maximum federal funding amount listed is an award ceiling of $425,000, and USGS anticipates making a single award under this opportunity. The notice was created on January 13, 2020, with an original application deadline of February 3, 2020, indicating a relatively short submission window for interested CESU partners.
In short, this is a single-award, CESU-partner-only cooperative agreement intended to fund applied R and D work at the intersection of geospatial science, habitat/vegetation characterization, and wildlife population data, with the practical goal of producing software tools that strengthen ecological modeling and on-the-ground resource management decision-making.Apply for G20AS00028
