The Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity for a Cooperative Agreement with a CESU-affiliated partner. This opportunity is centered around providing research to understand the biotic and abiotic constraints on successful reclamation, developing reclamation effectiveness assessment workflows, and identifying management practices that promote reclamation success. The research is aimed at addressing significant scientific challenges for the management of surface disturbance following oil and gas development and other land disturbing activities in arid landscapes. The funding opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. The close date for electronically submitted applications is June 21, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
