Opportunity Information: Apply for G18AS00014
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G18AS00014) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, specifically through the USGS Fort Collins Science Center. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the project is expected to involve substantial involvement or collaboration with USGS staff during the period of performance rather than operating as a hands-off grant. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808.
The main purpose of the project is to support research that reconstructs historical river flow conditions using tree-ring evidence from cottonwood trees (Populus) growing along the Wind River in Wyoming. The work is focused on the Wind River Indian Reservation, indicating a geographically specific study area and suggesting the results are intended to be directly useful to local and regional water stakeholders. Flow reconstruction using tree rings is a well-established approach in hydrology and climate science because annual growth rings can preserve signals related to moisture availability, flooding frequency, and other water-stress conditions over long time spans, often extending beyond the period covered by instrumental streamgage records. By developing a longer-term picture of how the Wind River has varied through time, the project aims to help address a practical, management-driven problem: shifts in river flows that create challenges for water resource managers.
Eligibility is limited to CESU partners, as indicated by the announcement language and the eligible applicant category listed as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full eligibility text. In practice, this means only organizations that are formally part of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit network are positioned to apply, which commonly includes certain universities, tribal colleges, non-profits, and other research institutions that have CESU partner status. The opportunity anticipates making a single award, reinforcing that it is a targeted, project-specific solicitation rather than a broad program solicitation with many awards.
In terms of funding and timing, the award ceiling is listed at $17,627, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on December 6, 2017, and the original application closing date was December 21, 2017, reflecting a short turnaround typical of narrowly scoped, collaborative research needs. Overall, this is a small, focused research award intended to produce applied scientific information about historical flow variability on the Wind River using cottonwood tree-ring data, with the broader goal of improving understanding of flow shifts that complicate water planning and management.Apply for G18AS00014
