Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0331
This Notice of Intent (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 17 FA 0331) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), focused on natural resources work that helps decision-makers better account for climate conditions and climate change when planning for species of conservation concern in the North Central region. The stated purpose is to enable climate-informed planning and decisions, which typically means generating or applying climate-relevant science, tools, or decision support products that can be used by managers and partners to prioritize actions, evaluate risks, and make defensible conservation choices under changing environmental conditions.
The opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, indicating that USGS likely anticipates substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on project design, coordination with USGS scientists or programs, shared data standards, review of interim products, or joint dissemination of results). The program is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity, and it is associated with CFDA 15.820, which corresponds to USGS research and data-related assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this means proposals would generally come from eligible universities or similar public higher-education entities capable of conducting applied research, developing decision-support resources, and engaging stakeholders. The funding parameters show an award ceiling of $65,395, with an expectation of one award, suggesting a targeted, single-project investment rather than a broad, multi-award competition. The original closing date listed is July 31, 2017, and the creation date is July 17, 2017, reflecting a short application window typical of smaller, focused opportunities or those intended for a specific partner or project concept.
In terms of what the funded work is likely meant to produce, the emphasis on "climate-informed planning and decisions" for "species of conservation concern" in the North Central region points to deliverables such as climate vulnerability assessments, species distribution or habitat suitability analyses under future climate scenarios, prioritization frameworks, or decision-support tools that translate climate data into management-relevant guidance. The overall aim is to strengthen conservation planning so that agencies and partners can better anticipate climate-driven changes, reduce risk to at-risk species, and allocate limited conservation resources more effectively in that region.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0331
