Opportunity Information: Apply for G19AS00131
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G19AS00131) is a discretionary research award offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically the Fort Collins Science Center (FORT). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the USGS expects to be actively involved during the project period through collaboration, technical input, or coordination rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.808, aligning it with federally supported scientific research efforts managed by USGS.
The core purpose of the grant is to support research that evaluates ecological outcomes following dam removal on Washington's Elwha River, with a particular focus on vegetation. The project is aimed at understanding vegetation colonization and vegetation dynamics in areas that were previously underwater as reservoirs and in the river mouth estuary where the river meets the coastal environment. In practical terms, this means studying how plant communities establish themselves on newly exposed sediments, how those communities change over time, and how river-mouth and estuarine vegetation responds as sediment movement, salinity patterns, and habitat conditions shift after the dams are removed. Because dam removal can rapidly transform hydrology and sediment transport, the resulting landscape can be a rare and scientifically valuable setting for tracking how ecosystems reassemble and stabilize.
Eligibility is limited to partners within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, with this announcement tied to the Rocky Mountain CESU. CESUs are designed to facilitate collaborative research among federal agencies, universities, and other partner organizations, so this opportunity is meant for organizations that are already part of that partnership framework (the listing notes "Others" with additional eligibility details provided elsewhere in the original notice). The program is set up to support a single award, indicating a targeted, project-specific effort rather than a broad competition for multiple unrelated projects.
Financially, the award ceiling is $48,000, and USGS expected to make one award. The opportunity was created on August 22, 2019, with an original closing date of September 10, 2019, reflecting a relatively short application window consistent with some CESU partner announcements that seek to fund a specific scoped need. Overall, this funding opportunity supports applied, field-relevant ecological research tied to a major river restoration event, emphasizing measurable changes in plant establishment and community development in both former reservoir footprints and the dynamic estuarine environment at the river's mouth.Apply for G19AS00131
