Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00084
This grant opportunity is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically the Western Ecological Research Center, for a research project that will help guide habitat restoration decisions tied to the beneficial reuse of dredged material. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which generally means USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The overall goal is applied science: collecting and analyzing field information at restoration sites so managers can make better, evidence-based choices about how dredged sediment can be used in ways that support ecosystem recovery.
The work described centers on evaluating three closely linked components at restoration sites: the presence of native fish, the availability and condition of prey resources that support those fish, and the quality and suitability of habitat. In practical terms, this type of project often involves targeted surveys to determine whether native fish are using restored or newly created habitats, whether food-web resources (such as aquatic invertebrates or other prey communities) are sufficient and appropriately distributed, and whether physical and ecological habitat features are meeting restoration objectives. The results are intended to inform whether and how dredged material, when placed strategically, can create or improve habitats that are actually functional for native fish rather than simply looking good on paper.
A key restriction is eligibility. Applicants must be an official partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research or technical organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. Because this opportunity is issued under the CESU mechanism, it is not broadly open to all entities; it is limited to those already participating in the Californian CESU network.
From the source data, the opportunity is titled "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit" and carries the funding opportunity number G23AS00084. It is categorized as discretionary, uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and falls under the activity category "Science and Technology and other Research and Development." The CFDA number listed is 15.808, and the agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). The announcement was created on 2022-11-29, with an original closing date of 2022-12-30. The award ceiling is listed as $78,888, indicating the maximum amount available for the project under this specific announcement.Apply for G23AS00084
