Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00018
This funding opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Rocky Mountain CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00018), is a discretionary research award offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It is administered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or review of deliverables, rather than operating strictly as a hands-off grant.
The opportunity is issued through the USGS National Wildlife Health Center and focuses on advancing research that supports understanding and managing wildlife disease. The central need highlighted in the announcement is analytical capacity: the applicant must be a CESU partner with demonstrated expertise in spatial statistics and spatial-temporal statistical modeling as applied to wildlife diseases. In practical terms, this points to work that examines how diseases spread across landscapes and over time, identifies hotspots or risk corridors, and evaluates how environmental, ecological, or management variables influence transmission patterns and outcomes.
A key motivation behind the project is that options for mitigating disease in wildlife populations are often limited. The notice specifically calls out vaccination as one mitigation approach that could reduce disease impacts, implying the work may help inform where, when, and how vaccination might be deployed most effectively, or how to evaluate vaccination outcomes. While the short description does not list specific tasks or species, the emphasis on spatial and spatiotemporal modeling suggests outputs like predictive risk maps, analyses of transmission dynamics, and decision-support insights that can help wildlife health professionals target limited resources.
The award falls under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808. Funding is relatively modest and focused: the award ceiling is $47,000, and USGS anticipated making one award. Eligibility is limited to entities that qualify as CESU partners, with the opportunity routed specifically through the Rocky Mountain CESU network, and applicants are directed to consult the eligibility clarification in the full announcement.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was created on November 13, 2019, with an original closing date of November 29, 2019, indicating a short application window and a targeted, project-specific solicitation aimed at quickly identifying a capable partner for a defined analytic need.Apply for G20AS00018
