Opportunity Information: Apply for G19AS00032
This grant opportunity, titled "Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Californian CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number G19AS00032), was issued by the Department of the Interior through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It falls under the USGS National Water Quality Program (NWQP) and is focused on science and technology research and development. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, data use, or project coordination, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report.
The core purpose of the award is to support research that improves understanding and forecasting of groundwater quality across U.S. Principal Aquifers. The project emphasis is on building modern predictive tools that connect groundwater quality measurements (water quality constituents) with landscape characteristics. In practical terms, this means developing models that can learn patterns from large datasets (machine learning) and also incorporating process understanding through hybrid statistical-mechanistic approaches. Hybrid models generally aim to combine the pattern-finding strengths of machine learning or statistical methods with mechanistic elements that reflect real-world physical, chemical, or hydrologic processes, which can make predictions more interpretable and potentially more reliable when conditions change.
The opportunity is limited to eligible applicants within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically a CESU partner associated with the Californian CESU. The eligibility field is broadly labeled "Others," with the key constraint clarified in the accompanying eligibility text (not included here) indicating it must be a CESU partner. In effect, it is not a general open competition for all organizations; it is targeted to the CESU community, which is designed to streamline collaboration between federal agencies and partner institutions such as universities and research organizations.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on February 21, 2019, with an original closing date of March 7, 2019, indicating a relatively short application window. The award ceiling was $116,000, and the USGS anticipated making one award, suggesting a single, focused project rather than a multi-award program. The CFDA number associated with the funding is 15.808, which corresponds to USGS research and related assistance activities.
Overall, the grant is essentially a targeted research award intended to produce advanced modeling approaches for groundwater quality at broad aquifer scales, helping the USGS better explain and predict how water quality conditions relate to land and environmental characteristics. The deliverables would be expected to support USGS mission needs in assessing groundwater quality status and trends and in improving forecasting tools that can inform monitoring strategies and water resource decision-making.Apply for G19AS00032
