Opportunity Information: Apply for G19AS00019
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests (CESU) Program funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G19AS00019) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center solicitation for a single research award focused on the "Lower Maumee River Region Restoration Potential Study" in and around Toledo, Ohio. The goal is to generate practical, decision-ready science that helps agencies and local partners plan and prioritize major aquatic habitat restoration actions in the lower Maumee River and nearby waters. This work is framed within the Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC) program, where communities and governments work to address environmental problems identified as Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs). In plain terms, the project is meant to supply the on-the-ground ecological evidence needed to decide what to restore, where to restore it, and how restoration should be designed to support measurable recovery and eventual BUI removal.
The research emphasis is on understanding aquatic habitat conditions and the status of biological communities, particularly fish and aquatic invertebrates, across the lower Maumee River region. By collecting and analyzing scientific information on habitat quality and the composition, abundance, and distribution of key organisms, the project is expected to clarify how current conditions support (or limit) ecosystem health and how different restoration options might improve outcomes. This type of information is commonly used to identify degraded versus resilient areas, determine which habitats are most limiting for target species, and establish credible baselines against which restoration success can be evaluated. The intended users of the results include local, state, and federal partners who are responsible for selecting restoration sites, choosing appropriate restoration methods, and documenting ecological improvements connected to AOC goals.
Administratively, this is a discretionary award made through a cooperative agreement, indicating that USGS anticipates substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on study design, data needs, or integration with agency priorities). The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is listed under CFDA number 15.808. The total funding available is capped at an award ceiling of $186,628, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on November 19, 2018, with an original closing date of December 4, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, which typically means the applicant must fit within the CESU framework or meet specific partnership and institutional requirements described in the complete eligibility section.
Overall, the opportunity supports applied ecological research tied directly to restoration planning and environmental management decisions in the Great Lakes region. The study area focus on the lower Maumee River near Toledo reflects a priority to advance AOC-related recovery efforts by filling critical science gaps about habitat conditions and biological communities, so restoration investments can be targeted effectively and contribute to removing BUIs under the federal Great Lakes AOC program.Apply for G19AS00019
