Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00071
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Southern Appalachian CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00071) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically through the Science Analytics and Synthesis (SAS) organization. The project focus is a research and technical assistance effort titled "A Collaborative Approach to Improving Data Management throughout the Science Data Lifecycle." In practical terms, this funding is aimed at strengthening how scientific data are planned, organized, documented, stored, shared, and preserved from the earliest stages of a project through long-term stewardship, with an emphasis on approaches that are usable in real-world research and operational settings.
The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the work (for example, coordinating on deliverables, participating in technical direction, and ensuring products align with USGS and broader community needs). The activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the listing falls under CFDA 15.808. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $375,000, indicating one primary funded partner will be selected to carry out the work.
Eligibility is limited to partners within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically tied to the Southern Appalachian CESU, and applicants must be capable of providing both research and hands-on technical assistance. The sought-after capabilities include expertise in usability and science data management, along with familiarity with methodologies, best practices, tools, and emerging trends that affect the full science data lifecycle. This suggests the selected partner is expected not only to study or evaluate data management approaches, but also to help translate findings into practical guidance, workflows, or solutions that improve how scientific teams manage data day to day.
A key public-benefit feature of the program is that results from the funded work are intended to be broadly shared. The announcement states that outcomes will be made available to federal and non-federal natural resource research and management communities, along with their partners, additional stakeholders, and the general public. That emphasis points to deliverables such as reusable methods, documented practices, recommendations, or tools that can be adopted beyond USGS, helping raise the overall standard of data stewardship and usability across the natural resources and environmental science landscape.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on May 20, 2020, with an original application closing date of June 5, 2020. Even though those dates indicate the announcement is from a prior cycle, the content provides a clear picture of the program intent: invest in collaborative, applied R&D that improves scientific data management across the entire lifecycle, with outputs designed for wide dissemination and use.Apply for G20AS00071
