Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00426
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G23AS00426) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement for a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.808. It is issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, specifically the Great Lakes-Northern Forest CESU. The core purpose is to support research that uses modern "omics" approaches to better explain why and how cyanobacteria and other algae produce toxins, with the broader goal of strengthening national efforts to prevent and mitigate Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).
The scientific focus centers on phylogenetics, metagenomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics as complementary tools for understanding cyanotoxin production. In practical terms, USGS is looking for work that can connect genetic potential and evolutionary history (phylogenetics and genomics) with what is actually happening in real systems (community DNA signals in metagenomics, expressed proteins in proteomics, and integrative analysis through bioinformatics). The underlying research aim is to identify mechanisms and drivers that influence toxin production, such as which organisms are present, how toxin-related genes are distributed and regulated, and how metabolic pathways and toxin-producing capabilities evolve over time. By improving the ability to characterize cyanobacteria and algal species and the genes responsible for toxin production, the funded work is expected to provide actionable insight that can inform monitoring, forecasting, and management strategies for HABs.
Because this is a Cooperative Agreement, the award structure implies substantial involvement and collaboration between the USGS and the recipient during the project period, which is typical for CESU projects that emphasize partnership-driven science, technical assistance, and education. CESUs are designed to connect federal agencies with a network of academic and other research partners to deliver applied science products, and this opportunity is framed explicitly within that collaborative model.
Eligibility is restricted: applicants must already be participating partners in the Great Lakes-Northern Forest CESU Program. The opportunity lists eligible applicants as "Others," reflecting that it is not an open competition for all entities, but rather targeted to qualified CESU-affiliated partners. The announcement was created on June 26, 2023, with an original closing date of July 26, 2023. The stated award ceiling is $100,000, and the activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development.Apply for G23AS00426
