Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00254
This funding opportunity, titled "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Great Lakes Northern Forests Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit," is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) grant competition focused on science and technology research. It is being offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance (for example, collaborating on study design, data collection approaches, analysis, or dissemination of results). The opportunity is issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU, which is a networked partnership structure designed to support research, technical assistance, and educational activities that align with federal and public needs.
The core purpose of the project is to support research examining how forest fires and moose browsing jointly influence boreal forest vegetation dynamics. In practical terms, the work would center on understanding how fire disturbance and herbivory pressure from moose affect vegetation composition, regeneration patterns, and longer-term ecosystem trajectories in boreal or boreal-adjacent forest systems. The emphasis on "vegetation dynamics" suggests interest in change over time, such as post-fire recovery, shifts in species dominance, impacts on tree recruitment and survival, and how browsing may either slow, redirect, or interact with post-disturbance succession. The subject matter fits squarely within USGS research interests related to ecosystem processes, disturbance ecology, wildlife-vegetation interactions, and landscape change.
Eligibility is narrow and is limited to entities that are active participating partners of the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU Program. The listing identifies eligible applicants under the category "Others," but the key requirement is CESU affiliation with that specific unit; applicants outside the partnership are not eligible. The assistance is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.808 and is administered by the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey.
From a funding and schedule standpoint, the opportunity number is G23AS00254. It was created on February 8, 2023, with an original application closing date of March 8, 2023. The award ceiling is $131,590, indicating the maximum expected federal funding for an award under this announcement. The posting also indicates expected awards but does not provide a number in the source text, so applicants would generally interpret that as either unspecified or dependent on proposal quality and available funds.
Overall, this is a targeted CESU-based cooperative agreement intended to leverage the CESU partnership framework to advance applied ecological research in the Great Lakes Northern Forests context, with a specific scientific focus on the combined effects of wildfire and moose browsing on boreal forest vegetation change and recovery.Apply for G23AS00254
