Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00031
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00031) is a discretionary research award offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. The work is being issued through the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Center and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on methods, data sharing, and progress reviews) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction.
The project focus is a specific applied research effort titled "Assess Hydrological and Sediment's Response to Hurricane Florence (2018) at the Land-Ocean Interaction Zone." In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at improving scientific understanding of how a major hurricane altered water movement (hydrology) and sediment transport, deposition, or erosion in the transitional area where terrestrial systems meet coastal and marine environments. That land-ocean interaction zone is often where storm impacts are most complex, because river discharge, coastal flooding, surge, waves, and sediment dynamics intersect and can reshape landscapes, channels, wetlands, and nearshore habitats.
This opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which corresponds to USGS research and data activities. The eligible applicant pool is limited to CESU partners, with the listing indicating "Others" and directing applicants to additional eligibility guidance (meaning it is not generally open to all organizations, but specifically to entities that are formal partners within the CESU network, in this case the Gulf Coast CESU).
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $99,938, and USGS anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The opportunity was created on January 21, 2020, with an original closing date of February 7, 2020, indicating a short application window. Overall, it is a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement intended to support a defined research scope tied to Hurricane Florence impacts, using CESU partnership mechanisms to leverage academic or institutional expertise in coastal hydrology and sediment processes in coordination with USGS scientists.Apply for G20AS00031

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the name of this funding opportunity?
The opportunity is the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU funding opportunity, identified as Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00031.
Which federal agency is offering this award?
The award is offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
What USGS office is issuing the opportunity?
The opportunity is being issued through the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Center.
What type of funding instrument is being used?
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that this is a cooperative agreement?
A cooperative agreement typically indicates that USGS expects substantial involvement during the project period. Examples mentioned include coordination on methods, data sharing, and progress reviews, rather than a hands-off grant with minimal interaction.
What is the project title or research focus?
The applied research effort is titled: "Assess Hydrological and Sediment's Response to Hurricane Florence (2018) at the Land-Ocean Interaction Zone."
What is the main purpose of the research described in the opportunity?
The purpose is to improve scientific understanding of how Hurricane Florence (2018) altered hydrology (water movement) and sediment processes (transport, deposition, and erosion) in the land-ocean interaction zone.
What topics or processes are included in the project scope?
Based on the description, the scope includes changes to water movement and sediment dynamics, including transport, deposition, and erosion associated with a major hurricane event.
What is meant by the "land-ocean interaction zone" in this opportunity?
It refers to the transitional area where terrestrial systems meet coastal and marine environments. The description notes this zone can be especially complex during storms because river discharge, coastal flooding, storm surge, waves, and sediment dynamics intersect there.
Why is the land-ocean interaction zone important for hurricane impact research?
The description highlights that storm impacts are often most complex in this zone, where multiple drivers (river discharge, coastal flooding, surge, waves, and sediment dynamics) interact and can reshape landscapes, channels, wetlands, and nearshore habitats.
What activity category does this opportunity fall under?
The opportunity falls under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category.
What CFDA number is associated with this opportunity?
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which corresponds to USGS research and data activities.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is limited to CESU partners. The listing indicates "Others" and directs applicants to additional eligibility guidance, implying it is not generally open to all organizations and is intended for entities that are formal partners in the CESU network (specifically the Gulf Coast CESU).
Is this opportunity open to the general public or any organization?
No. The information provided indicates eligibility is limited to CESU partners rather than being broadly open to all applicants.
Which CESU is referenced for eligibility?
The opportunity is tied to the Gulf Coast CESU.
What is the maximum award amount?

What makes this a targeted funding opportunity?
The description characterizes it as a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement supporting a defined research scope focused on Hurricane Florence impacts, implemented through CESU partnership mechanisms and coordinated with USGS scientists.
What level of interaction with USGS should a recipient expect during the project?
The opportunity indicates USGS expects substantial involvement, including coordination on methods, data sharing, and progress reviews during the project period.
How does this opportunity relate to Hurricane Florence (2018)?
The research is specifically designed to assess hydrological and sediment responses to Hurricane Florence (2018), focusing on changes in the land-ocean interaction zone caused by that event.
What kinds of environmental changes are mentioned as potential outcomes of hurricane impacts?
The description notes that interacting storm drivers can reshape landscapes, channels, wetlands, and nearshore habitats.
