About this opportunity
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Biological Science Center is offering a $400,000 cooperative agreement opportunity for research to understand climatic and soil water constraints on successful ecological restoration, develop restoration effectiveness assessment workflows, and identify management practices that promote climate-adapted and resilient restoration outcomes. The opportunity is open only to partners of the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Applicants must submit proposals through grants.gov addressing four main objectives, and will be evaluated on research alignment (25 pts), restoration/climate research experience (25 pts), budget reasonableness (25 pts), and applicant qualifications (25 pts). Proposals are due by February 17, 2025.
The four-year cooperative agreement project will support research to contribute to an interagency restoration assessment team, analyze climate influences on restoration, integrate findings with climate projections, and share results through publications and workshops. Applicants must provide a detailed budget with a 17.5% indirect cost rate, data management plan, biographical sketches, and current/pending support documentation.
Synopsis
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to (1) understand climatic and soil water constraints on successful restoration, (2) develop restoration effectiveness assessment workflows, and (3) identify management practices that promote climate-adapted and resilience restoration outcomes. Climate variability and aridification pose significant challenges for ecological restoration on western lands. Further insight into how those challenges can be quantified and mitigated can improve the success of landscape restoration efforts and investments.
