Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00079
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Basin CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00079) was a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary research funding announcement under the Department of the Interior. It was issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the award would involve substantial involvement by USGS staff during the project rather than operating like a hands-off grant. The program area falls under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 15.808. The announcement was created on June 15, 2020, with an original closing date of June 28, 2020, indicating a short application window typical of targeted, program-specific research needs.
The core purpose of the project was to support research to develop a catalog of non-USGS streamflow measurements for the Pacific Northwest Region. In practice, this means identifying, compiling, and organizing streamflow data that were collected by other entities (for example, state agencies, local governments, tribes, utilities, irrigation districts, academic groups, or other federal programs) but are not widely known or easily discoverable outside the organizations that collected them. These measurements can be highly valuable for water resource management, flood and drought analysis, ecosystem studies, and hydrologic modeling, yet they often remain siloed, inconsistently documented, or difficult to access. By creating a structured catalog, the project aimed to make those existing measurements more visible and usable across agencies and disciplines.
A key motivation behind the opportunity was strengthening the region's water data infrastructure. By improving awareness and organization of existing non-USGS streamflow records, the catalog would help managers and scientists understand what data already exist, where gaps remain, and which datasets may be suitable for modeling, planning, and decision support. This can reduce duplicated monitoring efforts, support better-informed resource management, and improve the inputs available for hydrologic models that rely on streamflow observations for calibration, validation, and performance assessment.
Eligibility was limited to CESU partners, with the listing indicating "Others" and directing applicants to additional eligibility language in the full announcement. CESU opportunities typically restrict applicants to organizations that are formal members of the relevant Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit network, which can include universities, tribes, nonprofits, and certain governmental partners depending on the CESU. The funding structure for this specific opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $106,150 and an expected number of awards of one, signaling a focused project scope intended to produce a defined deliverable rather than a broad multi-recipient research program.
In summary, this opportunity funded a single CESU partner to work collaboratively with USGS to locate and document non-USGS streamflow measurements and organize them into a usable catalog for the Pacific Northwest. The intended impact was practical and infrastructure-oriented: better discoverability of existing streamflow data, improved support for management and modeling work, and a stronger foundation for regional water data coordination.Apply for G20AS00079
