Opportunity Information: Apply for G22AS00386
This funding opportunity is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cooperative agreement aimed specifically at institutions that are already partners in the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project focus is wildfire science and fuels monitoring, with an emphasis on translating long-term Department of the Interior (DOI) monitoring data and newer monitoring approaches into fuel models that can scale up for practical planning and decision-making. The work is intended to help DOI agencies better understand where fuels are located, what kinds of fuels are present, and how fuel conditions change over time, so they can more effectively evaluate wildfire risk, gauge whether treatments are working, and run scenario analyses that compare alternative management strategies.
A central problem the opportunity highlights is that wildfire does not respect administrative boundaries. Fires can move across a patchwork of DOI lands and neighboring jurisdictions throughout the western United States, putting both built infrastructure and high-value natural resources at risk. Because of that, the opportunity frames fuels assessment and monitoring as a foundational step in mitigating wildfire impacts. The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center is looking for research that improves the ability to characterize fuels across DOI-managed landscapes, especially in the non-forest ecosystems that make up a large portion of DOI lands and where fuel assessments have historically been less common than in forests.
The technical thrust of the project is to evaluate how well existing and emerging data sources can be used to create usable, accessible fuel products. This includes field-based monitoring data and remote-sensing-based measurements, along with the databases and analytical tools needed to turn raw observations into fuel metrics and models. The intended outcome is not just academic insight, but practical fuel information products that DOI staff can apply directly to wildfire risk assessment, treatment planning and evaluation, and forward-looking scenario casting. In other words, the research should help bridge the gap between monitoring programs and on-the-ground management needs by improving how fuels are quantified, mapped, and updated across space and time.
Administratively, the award is issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the CESU framework, which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal partner compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the listed assistance listing (CFDA) number is 15.808. The opportunity number is G22AS00386, posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Geological Survey. Eligibility is limited to applicants categorized as "Others" in the notice, but in practice the key eligibility requirement is that the applicant must be an active Rocky Mountain CESU partner.
The opportunity was created on June 8, 2022, with an original application closing date of July 8, 2022. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $49,214, and the notice indicates a single expected award.Apply for G22AS00386
