Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with the Alaska Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)

Geological Survey · G26AS00156 · Deadline: September 11, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $453k

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 15.808, U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $112k against a $453k ceiling (25%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 235 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
