Opportunity Information: Apply for G17AS00091
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G17AS00091) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Center research award focused on evaluating how well oak savanna restoration is working across the Great Lakes region. Offered by the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, the program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve collaboration with USGS rather than operating as a hands-off grant. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808.
The core purpose of the project is to assess the efficacy of oak savanna restoration by using modern, high-quality vegetation and ecosystem sampling and analysis methods across a broad geographic swath of the Great Lakes basin. The emphasis is on understanding outcomes in the groundlayer vegetation of oak savannas, which is often a key indicator of ecological condition, biodiversity, and successful restoration. In practice, this means the work is aimed at comparing restored, remnant, and degraded oak savanna sites to determine whether management actions are actually rebuilding the plant community structure and composition that characterize functional savanna ecosystems.
A major driver for the research is that many oak savanna systems in the Great Lakes have been degraded over time due to a range of human influences. The opportunity specifically notes degradation factors such as long-term fire suppression (which can allow woody plants to encroach and shift the system away from savanna conditions), grazing impacts, woody harvest, and other human disturbances. The research is intended to evaluate how these forms of degradation have responded to management actions and to clarify the degree to which restoration is possible across different contexts in the region. In other words, the project is not just documenting current conditions, but linking conditions to management history and restoration approaches to understand what is working, where, and under what circumstances.
Eligibility is limited to CESU partners under the Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU network, with the eligible applicant category listed as "Others" and further clarified in the opportunitys eligibility notes. The total funding available is capped at $91,000 (award ceiling), and USGS anticipated making a single award (expected awards: 1). The announcement was created on June 22, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 7, 2017, indicating a relatively short submission window typical of targeted, partner-focused research solicitations.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a focused, collaborative research project designed to provide land managers and resource agencies with credible, region-wide evidence about the outcomes of oak savanna restoration efforts, especially regarding whether groundlayer plant communities are being successfully restored in landscapes affected by historic and ongoing human impacts.Apply for G17AS00091
