Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00054
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00054) is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) grant offered through the Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordinating on study design, data needs, analysis approaches, or application of results). The program area is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is listed under CFDA 15.808.
The purpose of the award is to support research by an eligible CESU partner focused on understanding how the invasive brown tree snake (BTS) affects the ecological resiliency of Guam, particularly Guam's ability to withstand or respond to new invasive species. The core scientific emphasis is on food webs: how BTS-driven changes ripple through predator-prey relationships, species interactions, and broader ecosystem structure. A key part of the work is comparative, using the non-invaded Northern Mariana Islands as a reference point to evaluate what intact or less-altered food webs look like in a similar Pacific island context. By comparing invaded and non-invaded systems, the research aims to clarify which ecological relationships have been disrupted on Guam and what that disruption means for ecosystem stability and vulnerability to additional invaders.
The results are intended to be directly useful for management and biosecurity, not just academic understanding. Specifically, the USGS indicates the research will help improve Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) programs for brown tree snake, supporting faster and more effective identification and response to new detections or spread. It is also meant to help identify restoration targets after reductions in BTS abundance, which implies the work may inform what species, functional groups, or ecological processes should be prioritized to rebuild ecosystem function once snake pressure is lowered. In addition, the project is framed to inform assessment of broader biosecurity actions across the Pacific Island region, meaning the findings could help evaluate or refine measures designed to prevent new introductions and limit movement of invasive species among islands.
This opportunity anticipated a single award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $226,527 and an expected number of awards of 1. The solicitation was created on April 14, 2020, with an original closing date of April 30, 2020. Eligibility is described as "Others," with the key limitation that applicants must be an appropriate CESU partner (with additional eligibility details referenced in the original announcement).Apply for G20AS00054
