Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 19 FA 0052
This funding opportunity, titled "Modeling long-term morphologic response of barrier islands in support of research in coastal sediment supply and flux" (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 19 FA 0052), is a U.S. Geological Survey cooperative agreement focused on improving how scientists model and understand the long-term evolution of barrier islands. The central goal is to develop a targeted modeling framework and/or produce a synthesis that explains how barrier islands change over time in response to sea level rise and other key drivers, especially sediment supply and sediment movement (flux). In practical terms, the project is meant to connect real-world observations of barrier island shape, elevation, and shoreline behavior with measurements or estimates of sediment sources, transport, and deposition, then translate those observations into model parameters that can drive or refine a morphodynamic barrier island response model.
The work emphasized by the announcement involves taking existing observational data on barrier island geomorphology and sediment supply/flux and integrating them into a morphodynamic modeling framework. That includes parameterizing observations (turning field or remote-sensing measurements into model inputs, boundary conditions, or calibration targets) and then altering, expanding, or otherwise improving a barrier island morphodynamic model so it can better represent observed patterns and processes. The intent is not only to run simulations, but to make the model more defensible and useful by grounding it in measured geomorphic and sediment-transport information. Ultimately, the expected outcome is a more coherent and research-ready approach for predicting or explaining how barrier islands respond over longer time scales as sea level rises and sediment availability changes.
Administratively, the opportunity was offered by the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.808). It was a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal agency during the project. The posting date was February 5, 2019, with an original closing date of February 12, 2019, indicating a short application window and a narrowly scoped effort. The award ceiling was $30,000, with one expected award, suggesting a small, focused project intended to produce a specific modeling enhancement, integration approach, or synthesis product rather than a large multi-year research program. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section, meaning the applicant pool may include certain non-federal entities beyond the standard categories, depending on the detailed eligibility language in the full notice.Apply for USGS 19 FA 0052
