Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00093
This funding opportunity (G20AS00093) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior, through its Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center. It is being competed through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically the Chesapeake Watershed CESU. The project is research-focused and sits in the Science and Technology/Research and Development category (CFDA 15.808). The intent is to support a single award, with an anticipated maximum federal funding amount of $48,000.
The core purpose of the project is to investigate the demographic consequences of golden eagle deaths in Wyoming, especially deaths linked to renewable energy development (for example, wind energy facilities) as well as other stressors affecting the species. In practical terms, the work is aimed at improving understanding of how mortality from these sources influences population-level outcomes, which is a key piece of information for wildlife management, conservation planning, and regulatory decision-making across the western United States. The final products are expected to be directly usable to support golden eagle management, meaning the research is not just academic; it is meant to feed into applied conservation and management needs.
A central technical requirement is demonstrated capability and experience in stable isotope analysis of tissues taken from golden eagle fatalities. The opportunity emphasizes that the CESU partner should not only be able to perform these analyses, but also have a track record of conducting and publishing stable isotope work specifically related to golden eagle mortalities in general and, importantly, mortalities associated with renewable energy facilities. Stable isotope analysis can help infer information such as geographic origin, movement patterns, or aspects of diet and habitat use, which can be relevant when trying to understand where affected birds are coming from and how different mortality sources may be impacting broader populations.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the USGS expects to be actively involved rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The description makes it clear that federal scientists and state university partners will collaborate closely in designing and carrying out the research program. The rationale is that the combined expertise of USGS and the CESU partner will allow them to address the problem more effectively than either could alone. This cooperative structure typically implies shared planning, regular coordination, and iterative development of deliverables that align with management needs.
In terms of logistics and timing, the opportunity was created on June 15, 2020, with an original closing date of June 30, 2020, and it anticipated making one award. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification normally provided in the grant posting under an additional eligibility section, but the description indicates it is intended for a CESU-affiliated partner capable of meeting the specialized research and publication expectations described above.Apply for G20AS00093
