Timeline
    Description

    The Geological Survey is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for a partner affiliated with the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit to conduct research on riparian plant physiological experiments along the Colorado River. The primary objective is to evaluate how plant interactions are influenced by dam operations, utilizing both new experiments and existing data to understand the effects of fluctuating hydropower flows on plant communities. This research is crucial for improving vegetation resource conditions in the Colorado River ecosystem, where the relationship between hydropower flow patterns and plant communities remains poorly understood. The total funding available for this opportunity is $400,000, with a minimum award of $1 and a maximum of $400,000, and applications must be submitted electronically by 11:59 PM ET on January 13, 2026. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Rachel Miller at rachelmiller@usgs.gov.
