Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit - is cataloged under number G21AS00555 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 15.808, posted by Geological Survey. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on June 9, 2021 and last updated on July 26, 2021. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is $108,500 -- $498,000. 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 August 6, 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 research in riparian vegetation physiological experiments and synthesis of existing data for predictive modeling of vegetation responses to river flow alterations. These activities will use species occurring on the Colorado Plateau and historic data that includes photo archives, remotely sensed data, and other monitoring data of riparian vegetation on the Colorado Plateau, including along the Colorado River ecosystem (CRe) in Arizona. The research will address questions related to riparian vegetation change over time as it relates to flood events, drought, and climate variables along a regulated river. Both existing data and new data will be required to complete the research. While large monitoring datasets exist for the CRe, key relationships between river flows, climate, and plant response are still poorly understood. Seasonal variations in base flows (minimum flow volume) and daily fluctuating flows both influence the composition of riparian vegetation within different hydrological zones in the CRe. High-Flow Experiments (HFEs) influence vegetation by depositing sand at different elevations associated with river stage, thereby creating habitats with varying depths to the water table. The separate effects of base and daily fluctuating flows on vegetation cannot be determined from observational monitoring alone because they are highly correlated: lower stage-elevation habitats occur closer to or within the active river channel and experience greater magnitude daily fluctuations than higher stage-elevation habitats. Experiments are therefore necessary to independently vary these factors in order to disentangle their independent and interactive effects on vegetation composition. Thus, two lines of research, modeling with existing data and conducting new experiments, are needed.
