Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00085
The US Geological Survey (USGS), through its Western Ecological Research Center, is seeking to fund a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct applied research focused on major California wildfires that were Presidentially Declared disasters in 2020 and 2021. The core purpose of the award is to generate a detailed, high-resolution picture of burn severity and likely vegetation recovery over time, using approaches that can capture change at both fine spatial scales and frequent time intervals. The results are intended to be directly useful for post-fire decision-making, especially where burned landscapes create cascading risks like degraded water quality, heightened runoff, debris flows, and landslides.
A major emphasis of the project is translating fire effects science into practical information and tools that land managers can use. The opportunity specifically points to needs shared by agencies such as the Department of the Interior and the US Forest Service: supporting recovery of desirable native vegetation, reducing the establishment and spread of invasive species after fire, and stabilizing soils and other natural resources in ways that lower hazards to nearby communities. In other words, this is not just a mapping exercise; it is meant to support on-the-ground post-fire strategies and risk reduction, using research products that can inform planning and operations in the months and years after a severe fire.
This funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the agency expects substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating methods, data products, and deliverables with USGS scientists and stakeholders). The award is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, a long-running network of partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other organizations for research, technical assistance, and education. Because it is a CESU opportunity, eligibility is limited: applicants must be active participants in the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number G23AS00085 and a classification as a discretionary funding opportunity in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category. The CFDA/assistance listing number associated with the opportunity is 15.808. The posting indicates an award ceiling of $144,261 and anticipates making an award (the listing shows expected awards without a specific number filled in). The opportunity was created on November 29, 2022, with an original closing date of December 30, 2022.Apply for G23AS00085
