Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00410
This opportunity is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement for a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically tied to the Rocky Mountain CESU. The focus is research on the ecology of wild equids (such as wild horses and burros) across the Western United States. The work is expected to be science-forward and can include data-driven modeling, field-based research, or an integrated approach that combines field data collection with analytical and modeling methods. In practice, that points to projects that generate or compile ecological data and then use quantitative tools to understand patterns, drivers, and outcomes relevant to equid ecology and management.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals that substantial involvement from the federal agency is anticipated during the project. In other words, the USGS is not only providing financial support but is also likely to collaborate on elements like study design, coordination, data sharing, interpretation, or other technical aspects as the work progresses. The activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reinforcing that the expected outputs are research products and technical findings rather than, for example, construction, service delivery, or purely educational programming.
Eligibility is limited: applicants must already be participating partners of the Rocky Mountains CESU. The announcement lists eligible applicants as "Others," but the description makes the CESU membership requirement the key gatekeeper. CESUs are structured partnerships that connect federal agencies with universities, tribes, nonprofits, and other qualified organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education in support of public land and resource management. Because this award is issued through the CESU mechanism, it is intended to be competed and awarded within that established partner network, using the CESU framework to streamline collaboration and ensure projects align with shared ecosystem science priorities.
From the posted opportunity details, the funding opportunity title is "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Rocky Mountain CESU Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit," and the opportunity number is G23AS00410. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.808, and the sponsoring agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). The award ceiling is $108,000, which indicates the maximum anticipated federal funding for an award under this announcement. The posting was created on 2023-06-13, and the original closing date was 2023-07-21, indicating a relatively short application window. The listing also notes "ExpectedAwards:" without a number provided in the source text, so while at least one award is implied, the exact planned count is not specified in the provided data.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted USGS research collaboration with a Rocky Mountain CESU partner to advance scientific understanding of wild equid ecology in the western US, using modern analytical modeling, fieldwork, or a blended design that links real-world observations to predictive or explanatory models, with active federal involvement consistent with a cooperative agreement.Apply for G23AS00410
