About this program
The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey administers the Cooperative Research Units Training Program (CFDA 15.813) to provide financial support to Minority Serving Institutions for introducing culturally diverse undergraduate students to freshwater fisheries and aquatic sciences careers, with the most recent grant award disbursed on May 11, 2012.
This program is inactive for new funding purposes. The portfolio shows four awards spanning from April 2008 to May 2012, with no grant disbursements in the past fourteen years. Award cadence was sporadic: two awards in 2008, one in 2011, and one in 2012. The US Geological Survey has been the sole funder across all four awards.
Funded activities center on fisheries scholarship and training programs for minority student populations. The National Cooperative Fisheries Scholarship Program was the dominant award category, appearing in two of the four grants. Specific research activities have included evaluation of fish passage following installation of rock arch rapids infrastructure and population-level effects of environmental contaminants on Great Plains resident fish species.
The assistance-type mix splits evenly between Cooperative Agreements (two awards, 50 percent) and Project Grants (two awards, 50 percent). Combined federal dollars obligated total $1.4 million against combined total obligation of $1.7 million, indicating $300 thousand in non-federal cost-share from recipients. Award magnitudes vary substantially: the largest single award was $1.26 million to support the National Cooperative Fisheries Scholarship Program (April 1, 2008), while the smallest was $18,868 for population-level contaminant effects research (February 16, 2011). The fish passage evaluation received $227,188 (May 11, 2012).
No recent grant opportunities are currently posted or have been posted in the evaluation window. Given the fourteen-year gap between the most recent award and present date, pursuit of funding under this program listing is not recommended without confirmation of renewed agency funding intent or a posted opportunity.
