Opportunity Information: Apply for G24AS00254
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically limited to partners affiliated with the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The opportunity supports applied science and research and development work focused on coastal ecosystems and coastal hazards, and it is framed as a collaboration-style award rather than a simple pass-through grant. Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement during the project period, such as coordination on technical direction, data standards, modeling approach, or integration with USGS program priorities.
The central research objective is to develop and advance models that can evaluate how coral reef and oyster reef restoration influence coastal hazard reduction. In practical terms, the project is aimed at improving the ability to quantify and predict how restored or enhanced reef structures can lessen storm impacts, wave energy, erosion, and related coastal change processes. This work aligns with the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP), and it directly supports two of CMHRP's priority areas: Coastal Change Hazards (CCH) and Integrated Coastal and Marine Systems (ICMS). The modeling emphasis suggests outcomes such as improved hazard assessment tools, decision-support products, or frameworks that translate ecological restoration into measurable risk-reduction benefits.
Eligibility is restricted: only organizations that are participating partners of the Californian CESU Program can apply. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research entities to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. This restriction means that even highly qualified organizations are not eligible unless they are already recognized as a CESU partner within the Californian network.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number G24AS00254 and CFDA number 15.808.
