Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 17 FA 0052
This funding opportunity is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) notice of intent focused on research to map forest cover change across three tropical countries. The project’s central purpose is to support scientific work that improves understanding of how forest cover is changing over time in tropical regions, which often face rapid land use change, deforestation, degradation, and regrowth. While the listing does not provide a detailed technical scope, the title and description indicate an emphasis on producing or improving maps and related analyses that document where forest cover has changed and potentially how those changes trend across time.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project compared with a standard grant. In practical terms, that often includes collaboration on methods, data standards, deliverables, review cycles, and coordination with agency scientists or program staff. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808, reflecting its alignment with federal natural resource science and monitoring priorities.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That means the competition is aimed at universities and similar public higher education entities, rather than private universities, nonprofits, companies, or individuals. The intent is to leverage academic research capacity, technical expertise, and analytical capabilities to produce credible, reproducible forest cover change mapping outputs.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $325,000, with an expectation of one award. This suggests a single research project is anticipated, likely of moderate scale, with a defined set of deliverables achievable within the budget cap. Because only one award is expected, selection is likely to be competitive, with a premium on a clear methodology, strong technical team, feasible work plan, and the ability to deliver high-quality mapping products and documentation.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (USGS 17 FA 0052), the original closing date (January 26, 2017), and the creation date of the notice (January 12, 2017). The sponsoring agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). Overall, this is a targeted research opportunity intended to advance the science and practical mapping of tropical forest cover change through an academically led project carried out in close coordination with the USGS under a cooperative agreement structure.Apply for USGS 17 FA 0052
