Great Lakes Science Center Research on Bioherbicides for Invasive Plants is a cooperative agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that funds research on the development of environmentally friendly bioherbicides and strategies to control invasive Phragmites australis and other invasive plant species.
The project explores the role of microbial endophytes in enhancing the growth and stress tolerance of invasive Phragmites and uses that information to develop low-toxicity bioherbicide treatments offering resource managers more options. Funding ranges from 1 dollar to 498,392 dollars, with a deadline of May 22, 2026. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, universities, and state and local governments.
The research builds on prior USGS investments that have already produced promising technologies supported by patent applications and commercial licenses, with additional field testing and development work still needed.

gov U.S. Geological Survey"s (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center solicits research on development of environmentally friendly bioherbicides and strategies to control invasive Phragmites australis and other invasive plants.
This project will be a collaborative effort to explore the role of microbial endophytes in enhancing the growth and stress tolerance of invasive Phragmites australis and use that information to develop a new, low-toxicity bioherbicide that offers resource managers more treatment options for this noxious plant and, ultimately, results in a highly efficient and effective approach that reduces costs, improves efficiency, and lays the foundation for development of similar products targeting other invasive plant species that degrade valuable agricultural, range, and natural lands.
Past and ongoing investments in this line of research are producing promising new technologies that are supported by several patent applications and patents, some of which have already been licensed by commercial entities. However, additional work is needed in field testing and development as commercial partners are engaged.
The proposed collaborative work will fill the research gap and work to generate a new model for combating invasive species by reducing their competitive abilities through targeting their symbiotic association using low-toxicity compounds or antagonistic microbes. 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 North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. Grantor contact information File name Description Last updated C.

The EDMAP Program is a grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that funds the training of the next generation of geologic mappers through the Educational Component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP). The program provides cooperative agreements for graduate and upper-level undergraduate student projects creating geologic maps characterizing the solid Earth and its constituents, using field, geophysical, borehole, and remote sensing data. As of 2024, EDMAP has funded more than 1,501 students from over 177 universities. Awards are up to $45,000 per graduate student per year and up to $25,000 per undergraduate student per year. Eligible applicants are faculty and adjunct faculty at accredited U.S. colleges and universities. The deadline for the current cycle is May 26, 2026.
STATEMAP Program is a grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that funds state geological mapping activities as part of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. The program supports systematic geologic mapping of states to produce new or updated geologic maps that address earth science issues including environmental hazards, land use, mineral resources, and water resources. Cost sharing is required from applicants. Eligibility is limited to State Geological Surveys; universities may submit proposals on behalf of a state geological survey if that survey is organized within a state university system. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov, with a deadline of May 27, 2026.
