Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit - is cataloged under number G21AS00529 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 15.808, posted by Geological Survey. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on May 24, 2021. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $29,300. The agency has projected $29,000 in total estimated funding for this announcement.

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 June 24, 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 USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for collaborative research to evaluate empirical support for hypothesized relations between river flow regimes and fish population dynamics using multiple, long-term datasets, and to prepare analytical code together with the assembled datasets for public release. The overall objective is to advance flow-ecology science and applications in water resource management by elucidating mechanisms linking river flows to changes in fish populations and communities. The funding recipient will provide at least one doctoral student, or equivalent technical expertise, to collaborate with the USGS principal investigator in: assembling and formatting data for analyses; coding and executing regression analyses to address the study objectives (below); and packaging datasets and code for public release (e.g., as R Markdown files, Jupyter Notebooks, or a similar format agreed to by USGS principal investigator and the project team). It is anticipated that the student(s) funded through this opportunity will collaborate with the USGS principal investigator and the project team (a diverse group of academic and agency scientists) to summarize and publish results of hypothesis testing in a journal-article format. Research Objectives: Complete compilation and standardization of 20+ time-series of annual fish count data, to allow joint analyses of population dynamics in relation to alternative flow metrics, and annotate each data-set with values for species-specific traits and river system characteristics. These compiled data sets will be used in analyses (Objective 2) and form a product for future work (Objective 3). Analyze population dynamics in relation to streamflow components to assess support for alternative, specified hypothesized streamflow drivers, accounting for effects of river context and species traits. Compile datasets used in analyses along with model code in a user-friendly and publicly-available format.
