    Description

    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity through a Cooperative Agreement for research on the changing stoichiometry of riverine silicon and its implications for the global carbon cycle, specifically targeting partners within the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project aims to enhance the Global Aggregation of Stream Silicon (GLASS) database by analyzing over 450 rivers worldwide, focusing on the patterns, drivers, and implications of silicon and nutrient ratios, while also engaging underrepresented groups in geosciences through workshops and developing an online data accessibility tool. The total funding available for this initiative is $100,000, with proposals due by February 17, 2025; interested applicants can reach out to Faith Graves at fgraves@usgs.gov for further information.

    The Biographical Sketch Common Form outlines submission requirements for individuals identified as senior/key personnel on federally funded research projects. It assesses qualifications and mandates disclosure of any participation in foreign government-sponsored programs, aligning with NSPM-33 and 42 USC § 19232. The document emphasizes the prohibition of involvement in malign foreign recruitment programs and provides guidance on disclosures necessary during the application process. Individuals must avoid submitting personal information irrelevant to their qualifications, and the format for the sketch includes sections for identifying information, professional preparation, appointments, and relevant products. Each senior/key person must certify the accuracy of the provided information and confirm non-involvement in malign foreign programs to mitigate liability risks. Additionally, the Privacy Act and burden statement indicate the intended use of submitted data and emphasize the voluntary nature of the process, although incomplete submissions might impede award eligibility. This document serves as a crucial framework in the context of government RFPs and grants, ensuring transparency and security in federally funded research endeavors.

    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is inviting proposals for a research project on the changing stoichiometry of riverine silicon (Si) and its implications for the global carbon cycle under a Cooperative Agreement with the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The project aims to expand the Global Aggregation of Stream Silicon (GLASS) database by analyzing over 450 rivers globally, focusing on patterns, drivers, and implications of Si and nutrient ratios. Key activities include machine learning applications, workshops to engage underrepresented groups in geosciences, and the creation of an online Shiny app for data accessibility. The grant of $100,000 is planned for FY 2025, with the possibility of renewal based on progress. Eligible recipients must be partners within the CESU Program, and the proposal process includes detailed requirements for application content, budget, and data management plans. Proposals will be evaluated on clarity of objectives, technical approach, budget justification, and past performance. Deliverables will include peer-reviewed manuscripts and publicly available datasets to enhance understanding of river ecosystems and their roles in global biogeochemical cycles.
