Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Genetic and Hybrid Characterization of Water Chestnut in the US - is cataloged under number W81EWF-21-SOI-0012 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 12.630, posted by Engineer Research and Development Center. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on March 8, 2021. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $15,000. The agency has projected $30,000 in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award. If the agency funds the expected 1 award from the $30,000 estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $30,000. 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 May 3, 2021. 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. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
The purpose of this project is to investigate whether there is potential for naturalized species of water chestnut in North America can hybridize. Objectives: Objectives will include genetic analysis of potential hybridization of both species of Trapa established in the US. Specifically: Objective 1. DNA will be extracted from samples of suspected hybrids and their parents provided by USACE Objective 2. DNA will be processed and analyzed by amplified leaf polymorphism loci (AFLP) or next generation sequencing to determine that hybridization has occurred when compared with parental DNA. Use of phylogenies and/or networks will be required to determine the relatedness of hybrid offspring to parent material; relatedness of North American introduced population hybrids to native accessions may be included. Successful applicant should have expert knowledge of molecular characterization of aquatic plants including experience with genetic identifications of macrophytic hybrids, and biogeographical characterizations for water chestnut, in addition to a record that demonstrates research experience with collecting, analyzing, and reporting data in national and international scientific communities. The candidate will be required to prepare a Statement of Work and Work Plan regarding the research to be conducted. The candidates will also be required to submit four (4) quarterly status reports and one (1) annual report each year of the contract to provide updates on and interpretations of the molecular characterization of water chestnut for this project and how it relates to morphological differences observed in populations in the northeastern U.S.
