Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 15
The GREENLAND ICE SHEET SURVEY funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NWO CESU 15) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement. The activity category is listed as Environment, with assistance tied to CFDA 12.632. The program appears intended to support a specific, targeted effort related to surveying the Greenland Ice Sheet, but the public-facing synopsis provides very limited technical detail about the project scope, required methods, deliverables, or fieldwork expectations beyond the title itself.
Eligibility is narrowly restricted: only members of the North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Network are allowed to apply. The notice repeats this requirement and points applicants to the CESU network portal (http://www.cesu.psu.edu/unitportals/NOATportal.htm), indicating that partnership through this specific CESU is a firm condition of eligibility rather than a preference. In practical terms, this means that universities, nonprofits, or other entities that are not formal North Atlantic Coast CESU partners would not be eligible to submit an application under this announcement unless they are already part of that network.
The anticipated funding is modest and appears intended for a single award. The award ceiling is $25,000, and the agency expects to make 1 award. The opportunity was created on 2016-08-31, with an original closing date of 2016-09-29, which suggests a relatively short application window typical of certain CESU-based cooperative agreements where the agency may already have a defined project need and is seeking an eligible CESU partner to execute it. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), applicants should expect substantial federal involvement during the project, such as coordination on technical approach, data management, reporting, or field logistics, depending on the final statement of work provided through the CESU process.
In summary, this opportunity is a small, single-award, environment-focused cooperative agreement administered by USACE Omaha District for work described only as a Greenland Ice Sheet survey, with eligibility limited exclusively to North Atlantic Coast CESU Network members. Entities interested in pursuing similar work but not in the network would need to explore joining the CESU (if possible) or look for other announcements without that restriction, while existing CESU members would likely need to consult the full CESU posting or coordinate with the CESU host/agency contact to obtain the detailed scope, required outputs, and application instructions that are not included in the brief synopsis.Apply for NWO CESU 15
