Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0098
This Notice of Intent is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), focused on natural resources research. The project topic is "Forecasting resource availability for wildlife populations in desert grasslands under future climate extremes," which signals an emphasis on anticipating how changing climate conditions, especially extreme events, could affect the resources wildlife depend on in desert grassland ecosystems. In practical terms, the work implied by this title typically involves linking climate projections and extreme-weather scenarios to on-the-ground ecological conditions such as water availability, vegetation productivity, forage quality, and habitat suitability, with the end goal of improving forecasts that can inform wildlife management and conservation planning.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number USGS 17 FA 0098 and is listed under CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.820, which corresponds to USGS research and data activities. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources, meaning the work is expected to support science, monitoring, modeling, or applied research that helps understand and manage natural systems. Because it is a Notice of Intent, it may indicate the agency is announcing an expected award or planned competition rather than running a broad open solicitation; in many USGS contexts, this can be associated with a targeted project and a limited pool of eligible recipients.
Eligibility is restricted to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That typically includes state universities and public colleges, and it excludes private universities, nonprofits (unless explicitly included elsewhere), for-profit entities, and most local governments. The structure suggests USGS is seeking an academic partner with the technical capacity to conduct climate-ecology modeling, field or remote-sensing data integration, and analysis that can translate climate extremes into forecasts of biological resource conditions relevant to wildlife populations in desert grasslands.
The funding details show an award ceiling of $170,195, with one expected award. With a single anticipated award and a specific research topic, the opportunity appears designed to support a defined scope of work rather than multiple smaller awards across different institutions. The posting was created on July 14, 2017, and the original closing date is July 28, 2017, indicating a short application window. That short turnaround often aligns with limited competitions, continuation/partner awards, or time-sensitive research needs tied to ongoing agency science priorities.
In summary, USGS 17 FA 0098 is a USGS natural resources research grant intended for a public, state-controlled university partner to develop or improve forecasting of resource availability for wildlife in desert grasslands under future climate extremes, with up to $170,195 available for a single award, and a 2017 application window closing July 28, 2017.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0098
