Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00398
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), through its Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) Program, is offering a discretionary funding opportunity to support research focused on improving water budget monitoring technology, with a specific emphasis on evapotranspiration (ET) measurement. ET is a key part of the water cycle and is essential for building reliable water budgets, calibrating hydrologic and watershed models, and checking the accuracy of satellite-based ET products. The core problem this opportunity is trying to address is that large-scale, ground-based ET monitoring is still difficult to do efficiently. Traditional ET measurement methods, especially the eddy covariance approach, often require expensive instrumentation and substantial time and expertise for installation, maintenance, and data processing. Because of those practical constraints, there are major gaps in the amount of in-situ ET data available across broad landscapes, even though those data are critically important for water science and management.
This cooperative agreement is designed to fund the evaluation of a promising newer sensor technology that could lower the cost and effort associated with in-situ ET monitoring. The intent is not only to test the performance of that specific technology, but also to improve the broader understanding of how similar emerging approaches might be used to fill current monitoring gaps. In other words, the work supported under this award is expected to help determine whether newer sensors can provide ET measurements that are reliable enough for operational water budget efforts, model development, and satellite validation, while being easier to deploy and sustain at larger spatial scales than conventional systems.
The award is being issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, which is a partnership-based program that connects federal agencies with universities, research institutions, and other partners to provide research, technical assistance, and education. Because it is a CESU-based award, eligibility is limited: applicants must be participating partners of the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies that USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on study design, data considerations, or integration with NGWOS priorities, rather than operating strictly as a hands-off grantmaker.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number G23AS00398 and CFDA number 15.808. The opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The opportunity was created on 2023-06-05, with an original application closing date of 2023-07-17. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $260,000. The expected number of awards is not clearly specified in the provided source information. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at generating practical, field-relevant findings about next-generation ET monitoring tools that could strengthen water observing capabilities and improve how water budgets are measured and modeled at scale.Apply for G23AS00398
