Opportunity Information: Apply for G25AS00078
This funding opportunity, titled "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit" (Opportunity Number G25AS00078), is offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the Fort Collins Science Center (FORT). It is a discretionary financial assistance opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to be substantially involved during the project rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The work falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.808.
The purpose of the award is to support research that helps plan, implement, and monitor riparian ecosystem restoration across western North America. The scope is intentionally applied and management-relevant: the project is expected to evaluate different restoration strategies for riparian systems and produce findings that improve real-world restoration decision-making. The announcement highlights several example approaches that may be assessed, including reestablishing native vegetation (revegetation), adjusting or managing water deliveries downstream of dams to better support riparian functions, controlling invasive species that degrade riparian habitats, and removing dams where appropriate to restore more natural flow and sediment processes.
A key emphasis is on assessment, not just implementation. Proposed research can examine both the comparative performance of restoration methods and the results those methods produce on the ground. Outcomes of interest extend beyond vegetation metrics and can include whether restored sites function as intended for broader resource objectives, such as providing usable wildlife habitat, improving conditions for recreation, or meeting other natural resource management goals. In other words, applicants are encouraged to connect restoration actions to measurable ecological function and beneficial use, which can help agencies and partners justify investments and adapt methods over time.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are official participating partners of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofits, and other eligible entities to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. Because this opportunity is issued under the CESU framework, only Rocky Mountain CESU-affiliated partners can apply, and the work is expected to align with the CESU mission of collaborative science that directly supports management needs.
The award has a ceiling of $180,000. The posting indicates an expected awards field but does not clearly specify the number of awards to be made. The opportunity was created on November 4, 2024, and the original closing date listed is December 4, 2024. The awarding agency is the Geological Survey (USGS).Apply for G25AS00078
