Opportunity Information: Apply for G22AS00393
This opportunity is a US Geological Survey (USGS) funding call from the Water Mission Area (WMA), specifically tied to the Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS). It is focused on research and development for camera-based water monitoring technology, with an emphasis on approaches that combine image analysis and artificial intelligence. The underlying problem the program is trying to solve is practical: the water monitoring community needs an integrated, coordinated system of hardware and software for using cameras to observe water conditions, but there is currently no commercial, off-the-shelf solution that fully meets those needs. USGS is looking to support development work that can close that gap and move toward a monitoring system that could scale beyond a single site or project and ultimately be suitable for a national monitoring network.
The technical direction highlighted in the announcement centers on using cameras as monitoring sensors and then extracting useful hydrologic information from imagery through modern computational methods. That can include automated detection or measurement tasks that are hard to do consistently by hand at scale, and it reflects NGWOS priorities around pushing innovative monitoring methods into operational use. The end vision is not just a one-off prototype, but a camera-based monitoring setup that could be deployed broadly, managed consistently, and used across many locations with standardized workflows, which is critical if the goal is to integrate with larger USGS monitoring efforts and the broader water monitoring community.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than a hands-off grant. It is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is a partnership framework used by federal agencies to work with participating institutions on research, technical assistance, and education activities. Because it is a CESU-based award, eligibility is limited: applicants must be official partners in the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. In other words, it is not an open competition for all organizations; it is restricted to the network of CESU-affiliated partners tied to that specific regional unit.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number G22AS00393 and the CFDA number 15.808. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement under the discretionary category, and the activity area is classified as science and technology and other research and development. The maximum award amount listed is $300,000, and the opportunity was posted on June 17, 2022, with an original closing date of July 18, 2022. The notice indicates an expectation of making awards, though the exact number is not clearly specified in the source text beyond an "ExpectedAwards" field that appears incomplete. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at advancing a scalable, AI-enabled camera monitoring capability that aligns with NGWOS goals of modernizing water observations and enabling broader adoption of innovative tools across monitoring programs.Apply for G22AS00393
