Opportunity Information: Apply for G21AS00525
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit," issued under Funding Opportunity Number G21AS00525. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaborating on technical direction, coordination, or project oversight) rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808.
The focus of the project is research and development aimed at creating or improving real-time sensors that can detect nitrate in environmental samples. In practical terms, this work supports faster and more continuous measurement of nitrate levels in water or related environmental media, which is important for monitoring water quality, understanding nutrient pollution dynamics, and supporting environmental management decisions. The emphasis on "real-time" suggests an interest in sensor technologies that can produce timely, continuous, or near-continuous readings rather than relying solely on periodic grab samples that require laboratory analysis.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUs are collaborative partnerships that link federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations to provide research, technical assistance, and educational support. Because this opportunity is issued specifically through the Great Rivers CESU, applicants must be affiliated with that CESU network to be considered eligible, which effectively narrows the competition to that defined partner community.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of June 18, 2021, and a creation date of May 17, 2021. The stated award ceiling is $153,935, indicating the maximum amount anticipated for a single award under this announcement. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards:" without a number, which implies the public synopsis did not specify how many awards would be made, though the ceiling provides a sense of the scale of funding available.Apply for G21AS00525
