Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU - is cataloged under number G20AS00139 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 15.808, posted by Geological Survey. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on August 17, 2020. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $110,000. The agency has projected $110,000 in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award. If the agency funds the expected 1 award from the $110,000 estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $110,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on September 7, 2020. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements.

Description
The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in stream and reservoir temperature modeling. Water temperature is a ¿master variable¿ for many important aquatic outcomes, including the suitability of habitat, evaporation rates, greenhouse gas exchange, and efficiency of thermoelectric energy production. Stream temperature is one of the most widely measured water characteristics by the USGS, though monitoring gaps in time and space requires modeling efforts to understand broad-scale temperature dynamics and supply decision-ready data to our stakeholders. Currently, stream and lake temperature are modeled separately, despite our knowledge that water flowing into a reservoir affects its temperature, and that reservoirs greatly impact the temperature of downstream river reaches. Further, in some places, water managers can affect downstream temperatures via reservoir releases, and understanding when to release, how much to release, and the expected water temperature changes from the release can support better decision making. The USGS and collaborators are developing process-guided machine learning models for streams and lakes that leverage the benefits of both process and machine learning models; the models are grounded in physical realism and perform well in data sparse and data rich conditions (e.g., Read et al., 2019). However, we have yet to model a stream network that reflects both lake and stream temperature dynamics.
