Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00071
The US Geological Survey (USGS), through its National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center (NRCASC), is offering a discretionary funding opportunity in the form of a cooperative agreement to support the "George Mason University Fish and Wildlife Adaptation Fellowship Program." The central aim is to create and run a fellowship experience that brings students into direct contact with NRCASC work and culture while helping those students produce a concrete, policy-relevant product focused on how climate change affects fish and/or wildlife resources. The emphasis is on turning science into action, meaning the fellowship should help translate research findings into forms that can realistically inform decisions made by natural resource managers, agencies, and other practitioners.
The fellowship-supported work is expected to be interdisciplinary and grounded in environmental science, with a clear connection to real-world management or policy needs. Student projects can be built around the students own existing research, in which case the program is meant to help elevate that research beyond academia by packaging it for a broader audience of decision makers. Another pathway is for students to contribute to ongoing or previously identified NRCASC research efforts where additional capacity is needed specifically to apply existing findings to resource management decisions. In both cases, the expected output is not just academic progress, but a deliverable that is explicitly designed to be usable for climate adaptation planning or related decision processes affecting fish and wildlife.
A notable feature of this opportunity is professional exposure. The fellowship is intended to provide students with opportunities to interact with USGS professionals and collaborators beyond the university setting, strengthening networks and helping students understand how federal science programs operate and how scientific evidence is integrated into government and stakeholder decision making. Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, recipients should anticipate meaningful involvement from USGS/NRCASC staff during the work, such as collaboration on project direction, deliverable development, or coordination to ensure the product meets decision-maker needs.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are active participating partners in the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are formal partnership networks designed to streamline collaboration among federal agencies, universities, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. This opportunity is issued under that CESU framework, so it is specifically targeted to that partnership community rather than open to all applicants.
Key administrative details provided include the funding opportunity title "Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit," opportunity number G23AS00071, and CFDA number 15.808. The agency is the Geological Survey (USGS). The activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement. The posted award ceiling is $226,000. The opportunity was created on 2022-11-09, with an original closing date of 2022-12-09.Apply for G23AS00071
