Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00421
This opportunity, titled "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit," is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) financial assistance announcement for a cooperative agreement focused on scientific research and development. The core purpose is to support work on developing environmental DNA (eDNA) markers that can be used for the early detection of invasive species. In practical terms, the project emphasis is on creating and validating genetic marker tools that help detect the presence of invasive organisms from environmental samples (such as water), ideally before invasions become widespread and harder or more expensive to manage.
The award is being offered under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically tied to the Pacific Northwest CESU. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education that support public land and resource management needs. Because this announcement is issued through the CESU mechanism, eligibility is restricted: applicants must already be an established, participating partner within the Pacific Northwest CESU network. In other words, it is not a general open competition for all organizations; it is intended for entities that are already part of that CESU partnership.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that substantial involvement from the federal agency is expected during the project, such as collaboration on study design, methods, data interpretation, or coordination with management needs. The funding activity category is listed as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," reflecting that the work is research-focused rather than primarily operational or service delivery. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.808 (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing 15.808), and the sponsoring agency is the USGS (Geological Survey).
Key dates and funding parameters included in the notice indicate the opportunity was created on 2023-06-13, with an original application closing date of 2023-07-21. The maximum potential award amount (award ceiling) is $190,000. The announcement also notes "ExpectedAwards:" but does not provide a number in the source information provided, so the exact count of anticipated awards is not specified here.
Overall, the grant is a targeted USGS-CESU cooperative agreement intended to advance eDNA marker development as an early-warning tool for invasive species detection, offered exclusively to qualifying partners in the Pacific Northwest CESU, with up to $190,000 available under this specific funding opportunity number G23AS00421.Apply for G23AS00421
