Opportunity Listing - Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Agency: Geological Survey Assistance Listings: 15. 808 -- U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection Last Updated: May 29, 2026 View version history on Grants.
gov The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in the following area: detecting plant species habitat to inform management. The research will be used to investigate phenology informed detection models, model transferability across broad regions, analyze spatial patterns of model uncertainty, and optimize the development and delivery of model results to practitioners charged with the management of species.
Being able to detect invasive species and habitats helps to prevent the spread of, eradicate or control invasive species by helping practitioners know what species are... problematic where. Thus, the research help make land management agencies work more efficient.
Many longstanding challenges remain regarding detection of plant species across broad geographic extents related to transferability, uncertainty, and interpretation. For example, multiple methods have been used at local scales to detect plant species. Leveraging satellite data at fine resolutions may allow us to improve accuracy across geographic scales.
We can better understand the limits of model prediction and build model credibility among practitioners using models to augment management actions and policies. These approaches must be viewed as accurate by practitioners at a local scale for uptake and be based on the best available science (EO 14303 - Restoring Gold Standard Science, May 23, 2025).
An important focus is detection of fire promoting invasive species to inform risk and mitigation activities (EO 14308 - Empowering Commonsense Wildfire Prevention and Response, June 12, 2025).
The U.S. Geological Survey"s (USGS) Fort Collins Science Center is offering a cooperative-agreement opportunity to universities having capability to conduct research to conduct studies related to improving the methodologies and analytic approaches for plant species habitat detection using satellite information.
This project will function to leverage collaborations to incorporate expertise in plant ecology, statistical programming, and remote sensing into a large existing project on the geographic distribution of manager requested plant species habitat in the United States.
Current USGS research interests include (but are not limited to) (1) the improvement of existing code related to data production pipelines and decision support frameworks/tools, (2) assessing geographic model transferability using field data across geographic regions, (3) synthesizing spatial predictors.
The outcome of a successful agreement will be research products (data and code) that help DOI and other land-management partners produce and understand the current geographic distribution of plants and the limits of model predictions.
Through this CESU agreement, the federal and state university partners will cooperate fully in development of a research program that will produce final products to be used in support of plant species management decisions. The cooperation of the USGS and its CESU partner brings a combination of expertise to address this objective that is greater than that possessed by either partner on its own.
This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program. CESU"s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.

Bio-based chemicals and/or materials from woody residues is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Successful proposals will contribute to the EU Forest Strategy for 2030, the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, the Carbon Removal Certification Framework Regulation, the updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy and the upcoming Circular Economy Act. Projects’ results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes: Increased availability of bio-based chemicals and/or bio-based materials from woody residues. Increased sustainability of forest-based value chains in cooperation with local forestry owners/cooperatives. Improved end-of-life (EoL) of bio-based products from woody residues. Scope: Besides thin branches, leaves and needles, which are usually left on the soil to maintain the long-term viability of the forest and soil in good condition, forestry and forest industry operations generate large amounts of woody residues which are typically used for energy or low value applications. Established process technologies for round wood and wood chips are not well suited for other streams from the forest industry which are abundantly available at production sites and could be exploited as a source of feedstock for the bio-based industries. Thus, there is the need to demonstrate techno-economic feasibility of innovative valorisation pathways to increase the value which can be derived from residues from the wood and forest-based industries while also improving sustainability compared to state-of the art valorisation routes. Proposals under this topic should: Demonstrate (TRL 6 and above) innovative technologies to obtain bio-based chemicals and/or materials from woody residues. Feedstock in scope includes woody residues generated at forestry and/or at industrial processing sites, including, but not limited to, bark, sawdust or residues from wood harvesting and processing. Demonstration should cover the optimal combination of innovative and scalable technologies aimed at maximising yield, selectivity and productivity across upstream pretreatment/fractionation, further conversion into chemicals/materials, separation/purification processes. The proposed technologies should address flexibility to feedstock quality variability. Validate (TRL 5 and above) the obtained chemicals/materials into end products. Assess the products’ performance and ensure that they fulfil technical performance requirements according to the end market application(s). Apply the eco-design principles, in line with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation , to the end-product(s) for sustainable EoL and test it at TRL5 and above. Incineration is not in scope. In addition to the specific requirements applicable for the type of action, as described in section 2.2.3.1 of the CBE JU Annual Work Programme 2026 [1] , proposals under this topic should: As part of the multi-actor approach (MAA), ensure close collaboration with local forest owners and managers, including cooperatives and/or sectorial associations. Optimise biomass supply chain models, including sourcing, storage and/or transport as relevant for selected woody residues. Include a task to apply the SSbD framework, developed by the European Commission for the assessment of targeted chemicals/materials and derived bio-based product(s). For more information on the SSbD framework and criteria, refer to Safe and sustainable by design . Ensure complementarities with past and ongoing R&I projects addressing similar challenges, including projects funded under Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe (under Cluster 6 and other Clusters of Horizon Europe) and BBI JU/CBE JU projects.
