Opportunity Information: Apply for G22AS00395
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), through its Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC), offered this discretionary grant opportunity as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The purpose of the award is to support research focused on how riparian vegetation in the western United States is changing over time, with particular attention to vegetation "greenness" (seasonal green-up and related plant condition signals) and riparian water use. A key element of the work is monitoring both native and non-native riparian plant communities, since shifts in species composition can strongly influence riparian habitat quality, stream health, and water consumption patterns.
The scientific emphasis is on riparian ecosystem change monitoring in the Lower Colorado River Basin, including rivers and streams affected by both natural processes and human-driven landcover change. The opportunity also highlights the need to track restoration activities along tributary streams, implying that the supported work should help document whether restoration actions are translating into measurable changes in vegetation condition and water use. To do that at meaningful spatial and temporal scales, USGS intends for the project to rely heavily on satellite imagery to quantify changes in green-up and evapotranspiration (ET), a commonly used indicator of how much water is being transferred from land to atmosphere through evaporation and plant transpiration. In practice, this means integrating remote sensing analyses that can detect vegetation dynamics across large river corridors, identify trends, and provide consistent monitoring that complements field-based observations.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are official partners in the Desert Southwest CESU, reflecting the CESU model where federal agencies collaborate with a network of academic and other research partners to deliver applied science, technical support, and education tied to resource management needs. The funding instrument is a grant/cooperative agreement, signaling that USGS likely expects substantial involvement or collaboration during the project rather than a fully independent effort.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number G22AS00395 under CFDA 15.808. It was created on June 17, 2022, with an application closing date of August 12, 2022. The listed award ceiling is $43,049. The funding activity category is "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," which aligns with the remote sensing and ecological monitoring approach described.Apply for G22AS00395
