Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit - is cataloged under number G22AS00108 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 15.808, posted by Geological Survey. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on November 30, 2021. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $20,000. 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 December 31, 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 on applications of isotope geochemistry to surface and groundwater hydrologic problems. Essential components of the funding opportunity are: 1) student, faculty, and laboratory support for application, refinement, and development of geochemical methods, that 2) address sediment and water sources and transport pathways, through 3) application of a wide range of stable and radio-isotopic systems (ranging from hydrogen, helium, and lithium through uranium and lead), by 4) analysis of the isotopic composition of diverse sample media (including plant and animal tissue, sediment, rock, and aqueous phases, especially high salinity brine). There is an urgent need for isotopic characterization of sediment from the San Juan River Basin. The objective of this research is to characterize fine grained sediment with respect to different sources within the basin. An established approach is to use lead (Pb) isotopic analysis to differentiate sediment sources. Would extend the application of this research to new sample material from Lake Powell, including sediment traps in the San Juan delta, cores throughout the San Juan and Colorado River deltas, and suspended sediment samples from the USGS stream gage at Mexican Hat, Utah. Comprehensive geochemical analysis for many samples exists, and in many cases have splits of previously analyzed powders. Keys tasks would be to: 1) evaluate all sediment chemistry data, 2) choose samples from the sample library for Pb isotope analysis, 3) manage sample submission to laboratory, 4) manage data delivery from the lab, 5) work with USGS Utah Water Science Center staff to establish QA/QC procedures for the data, 6) explore the use of additional isotopic systems (e.g., 87Sr/86Sr) to address provenance questions.
