Opportunity Information: Apply for G22AS00057
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G22AS00057) is a discretionary funding call from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through its Western Ecological Research Center. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the USGS expects to be substantially involved in the project’s execution rather than acting solely as a pass-through funder. The assistance is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, a network of partnerships designed to support research, technical assistance, and education that help address natural and cultural resource management needs.
The proposed project is titled "Determining bat biodiversity within U.S. Army Corps properties, and determining viromes of southern California bat species with an emphasis on types and loads of corona viruses." In practical terms, the work focuses on two connected scientific aims. First, it seeks to characterize bat biodiversity on lands or facilities associated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which could include documenting which bat species are present and assessing how bat communities vary by site. Second, it aims to examine the viromes of bat species in southern California, meaning the collection of viruses associated with those bats, with particular attention to identifying coronavirus types and estimating their relative amounts (loads). This aligns with science and technology research and development work that can inform wildlife management, conservation planning, and disease ecology understanding.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are active partners within the California Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (California CESU). The opportunity lists the eligible applicant category as "Others," but the key requirement is CESU affiliation with the California CESU network, meaning only participating partners in that specific CESU unit can apply. The award ceiling is $70,000, and the original closing date for submissions was November 15, 2021. The opportunity was created on October 14, 2021. It is associated with CFDA number 15.808 and is administered by the Geological Survey (USGS).Apply for G22AS00057
