Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0205
The funding opportunity titled "Use of CO2 and chemical agents to control invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in ponds and burrows" is a discretionary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cooperative agreement aimed at advancing practical control methods for an invasive crayfish species that can harm native ecosystems. The project focuses on testing whether carbon dioxide (CO2) and selected chemical control agents can be applied effectively in two of the places this species commonly persists and spreads: small ponds and crayfish burrows. The work described is explicitly the second year of an ongoing collaboration, meaning it is intended to build on prior results rather than start from scratch, and it is framed as relevant not only to Michigan but also to other states dealing with the same invasive species.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by the Department of the Interior through the USGS, under funding opportunity number USGS 19 FA 0205, and it falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with it is 15.808. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on partnership model where the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance, rather than simply issuing funds and receiving final reports.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the intended applicants are universities and similar public academic entities with research capacity. The solicitation anticipated making a single award (expected awards: 1), with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $49,750. The timeline was short: it was created on June 14, 2019, with an original closing date of June 20, 2019, suggesting the opportunity may have been targeted, time-sensitive, or aligned with a continuing project schedule and field season needs.
In practical terms, the project’s core purpose is to evaluate control tools that could be deployed in challenging environments where invasive red swamp crayfish live and reproduce. Burrows can be especially difficult to treat using conventional capture or removal methods, and small ponds can serve as localized strongholds or sources for reinfestation. By testing CO2 and chemical agents under these conditions, the collaboration is aimed at generating evidence on effectiveness and feasibility for real-world management, potentially informing future invasive species control efforts and decision-making by natural resource managers in Michigan and beyond.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0205
