Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00087
This grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number G23AS00087, is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. It is specifically tied to the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU and is intended to support science and technology research focused on floodplain forest successional dynamics along the Upper Mississippi River. In practical terms, the project emphasis is on understanding how floodplain forests change over time (succession), which can involve tracking patterns of forest regeneration, shifts in species composition, and the influence of flooding regimes and related river processes on forest development.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funding. This can include collaboration on study design, data collection approaches, interpretation of findings, or coordination to ensure the research aligns with USGS scientific priorities for riverine and floodplain ecosystems. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.808.
Eligibility is restricted: applicants must already be official participating partners in the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU Network. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," but the key qualifier is CESU partnership status within that specific network; organizations outside the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU partnership are not eligible to apply. This reflects how CESU opportunities are often structured to leverage established cooperative partnerships among federal agencies, universities, nonprofits, and other research entities to deliver targeted research, technical assistance, and educational outcomes.
The opportunity was created on November 29, 2022, with an original closing date of January 16, 2023. The award ceiling is $237,297, indicating the maximum amount available under this notice. The posting also lists "ExpectedAwards" without a stated number, which commonly suggests that the agency may be planning a single award or has not publicly specified the number of awards anticipated. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted, partner-restricted funding meant to advance applied ecological research on Upper Mississippi River floodplain forests through an existing CESU collaboration framework.Apply for G23AS00087
