Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00392
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), through its Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) Program, is offering a discretionary funding opportunity to support research focused on improving how stream channel shape is measured, specifically stream bathymetry (the elevation and contours of the streambed). The main motivation behind the opportunity is that while non-contact technologies for measuring stream velocity are advancing quickly and are already producing dependable results, those approaches still struggle in streams where the bed moves often due to sediment transport and shifting channel conditions. In those settings, it becomes difficult to keep stage-area ratings accurate over time because the cross-sectional geometry that underpins those ratings can change substantially.
The project goal is to help close that gap by developing a reliable, low-cost sensing approach that can measure channel and overbank geometry from a fixed installation. USGS is looking for a sensor concept that uses a fixed mount with an articulating mechanism capable of extending into the water column to directly measure the elevation of the channel bottom. In practical terms, the desired outcome is a device that can be deployed in place, operate repeatedly (or continuously), and provide updated bathymetry measurements that help maintain or update stage-area relations in dynamic channels. The emphasis on low cost and reliability suggests the sensor should be practical for broader field deployment, not just experimental demonstrations, and should be designed with real-world operation and maintenance constraints in mind.
This award is being issued as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared with a standard grant. The funding is offered under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, which is a partnership model used by federal agencies to collaborate with research and education organizations for scientific studies, technical assistance, and related educational activities. Because it is a CESU opportunity, eligibility is restricted: applicants must be participating partners of the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. This is not an open competition for all institutions; it is specifically targeted to organizations that are already part of that CESU network.
Key administrative details from the announcement include the Funding Opportunity Number G23AS00392 and CFDA number 15.808. The activity falls under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the agency is listed as the Geological Survey (USGS). The anticipated maximum funding amount (award ceiling) is $250,000. The opportunity was created on 2023-06-07, with an original closing date of 2023-07-07. The posting indicates expected awards, though the exact number is not specified in the provided source fields. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at advancing a field-ready way to measure streambed elevations in changing channels so that modern, non-contact stream monitoring systems can produce more accurate and durable discharge estimates over time.Apply for G23AS00392
