Opportunity Information: Apply for G24AS00415
The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity through a cooperative agreement to support a CESU-affiliated partner in developing a spatial tool (or set of spatial tools) that can improve understanding of how sagebrush vegetation changes across landscapes and through time. The focus is on tracking sagebrush dynamics under multiple influences, including natural variation, disturbance events, and the outcomes of restoration actions. The intent is to translate that improved understanding into practical decision support, so land managers can make more informed choices about where and when sagebrush planting is most likely to succeed, how to design and implement restoration more effectively, and how to manage or treat invasive annual grasses in ways that strengthen sagebrush ecosystems. A central conservation outcome tied to this work is supporting greater sage-grouse habitat conservation and contributing to population recovery efforts by improving the quality, extent, and resilience of sagebrush habitats.
This opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is structured to connect federal agencies with partner organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. Because it is a CESU-based award, eligibility is limited: applicants must already be participating partners of the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, collaborating on technical direction, data integration, or product development) rather than simply providing funds for an independent effort.
Key administrative details include the opportunity title, "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit," and the funding opportunity number G24AS00415. The agency is the Geological Survey, and the activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 15.808. The opportunity was created on June 27, 2024, and the original closing date is August 23, 2024. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $225,000. The posting does not clearly state the total number of expected awards in the provided text, but it does indicate this is a targeted opportunity for a CESU partner rather than an open competition to all applicant types.
In practical terms, the project being sought is meant to produce usable, map-based or spatially enabled products that help managers see patterns and trends in sagebrush condition and recovery potential, understand how disturbances and restoration actions are shaping those patterns, and apply that information to on-the-ground decisions. The emphasis on invasive annual grasses reflects a major, well-known pressure in many sagebrush systems, where invasives can alter fire regimes and suppress sagebrush recovery, ultimately affecting habitat suitability for sage-grouse. By improving the ability to target restoration and vegetation management strategically, the tool(s) developed under this award are expected to directly support more efficient, defensible, and effective conservation planning and implementation across sagebrush landscapes.Apply for G24AS00415
