Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00097
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a discretionary research funding opportunity through a cooperative agreement for a partner organization that is already affiliated with the Great Lakes Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project focus is on advancing methods to automatically detect and classify wildlife in aerial imagery by applying deep learning approaches, reflecting a science and technology research and development effort aimed at improving how wildlife can be identified and monitored from remotely collected images.
This opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is a network of partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other eligible partners to deliver research, technical support, and educational benefits. Because the award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement during the life of the project, such as collaboration on technical direction, data access, study design considerations, or coordination with broader USGS objectives related to ecological monitoring and decision support.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are participating partners of the Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU, and the eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," which in the CESU context generally indicates that only entities formally included in that CESU partnership can apply. The funding opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number G23AS00097, falls under CFDA 15.808, and is categorized under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity area.
The opportunity was created on November 29, 2022, with an original closing date of December 30, 2022. The award ceiling is $480,000. While the posting notes "ExpectedAwards:" without a specified number, the ceiling indicates the maximum amount available under the announcement, with final award decisions and the number of awards dependent on USGS priorities and the availability of funds. Overall, the solicitation supports applied research that would likely produce practical tools, models, or workflows for processing aerial wildlife imagery at scale, leveraging modern deep learning techniques to reduce manual review and improve consistency and speed in wildlife detection and classification.Apply for G23AS00097
