Opportunity Information: Apply for G21AS00615
This grant opportunity is a US Geological Survey (USGS) Eastern Ecological Science Center cooperative agreement aimed at supporting applied research that helps managers make better, more transparent decisions about managing disease across landscapes. The central theme is the use of structured decision making, a decision-science approach that formally lays out management objectives, alternative actions, constraints, tradeoffs, and uncertainty so that agencies can choose strategies that are defensible and repeatable. The work is framed at a landscape scale, meaning it is not limited to a single site or species, and it explicitly recognizes that disease management decisions are shaped by interacting biological, physical, and social factors.
A key expected use of the project results is improving understanding of avian influenza transmission dynamics. The opportunity anticipates producing data, analyses, or decision-support products that can feed into epidemiological models, with the practical goal of identifying where disease control actions would be most effective. In other words, the research is intended to help pinpoint target areas for control, improve the ability to anticipate where outbreaks might spread, and strengthen planning for surveillance and response. Another major deliverable area is decision support for managers, particularly in setting long-term monitoring and surveillance priorities so that outbreaks can be detected earlier and response efforts can be planned in a more strategic way.
The award is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is a federal partnership framework designed to connect agencies with universities and other partner organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. Because this is a CESU-based award, eligibility is restricted: applicants must be participating partners of the Chesapeake Watershed CESU. The listing identifies the opportunity as discretionary and notes that the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USGS expects substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on study design, iterative technical input, shared decision-support development, or coordination on data products and stakeholder engagement).
From the published opportunity details, the funding opportunity number is G21AS00615 and the CFDA number is 15.808. The activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The opportunity was created on August 16, 2021, and the original closing date was September 3, 2021. The stated award ceiling is $390,301. The eligible applicant type is listed as "Others," but the narrative makes clear that, in practice, eligibility is limited to Chesapeake Watershed CESU partners.
Overall, the opportunity is geared toward producing actionable science rather than purely academic outcomes. The emphasis is on integrating disease ecology with management decision processes, generating outputs that can be used in real-world epidemiologic modeling, and delivering practical guidance to resource managers on where to focus control, how to design surveillance systems, and how to prioritize monitoring over the long term to improve outbreak detection and response planning.Apply for G21AS00615
