Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 20 FA 0123
This Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) describes a discretionary funding opportunity focused on understanding how changing climate conditions are affecting biodiversity through shifts in ecologically relevant climate variables. The project theme is centered on "detecting emergent trends" in climate variables that matter for ecological systems, with the purpose of improving how scientists and managers evaluate biodiversity exposure to changing environments. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at research that can identify early, meaningful signals in climate-related conditions (for example, temperature- and moisture-related metrics, extremes, seasonal timing, or other biologically important indicators) and connect those signals to potential risks or exposure for species, habitats, and ecosystems.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects substantial involvement during the project rather than a hands-off grant structure. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.820. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of April 17, 2020, and the original closing date listed is May 1, 2020, indicating a relatively short response window typical of notices that precede or accompany a more formal solicitation.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, so the applicant pool is primarily state universities and similar public academic institutions. The opportunity anticipates making a single award, with an award ceiling of $191,519 and an expected number of awards equal to 1. That combination strongly suggests a targeted, specific research collaboration or a narrowly scoped project where the agency intends to support one lead institution to carry out the work, potentially in coordination with USGS scientists or related partners.
Overall, the opportunity is best characterized as a research-focused cooperative agreement intended to improve detection and interpretation of climate-driven ecological change. The emphasis on "emergent trends" implies an interest in methods, datasets, or analytical approaches that can reveal developing patterns before they are obvious in long-term averages, supporting earlier and more informed decisions about conservation, resource management, and biodiversity risk in the face of environmental change.Apply for USGS 20 FA 0123
