Research and develop data collection methodologies for such data. Value to the Nation (Economics)USACE NRM Programs have impacts on local and regional economies as well as the national economy. Assessing these impacts (both positive and negative) and developing methodologies for quantifying these impacts are needed to ensure the impacts and contributions of the NRM programs to the nation (in terms of economics) are clearly understood and articulated to a wide range of audiences.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input for potential future ARPA-E research programs focused on innovative technologies and approaches for resource exploration, discovery, appraisal, mining, and processing of critical minerals. Goals of the potential programs could include: Increased recovery rates of critical minerals; Minimized hazardous mine tailings; Reduced energy consumption from any/all stages of mineral development; Minimal carbon emissions from any/all stages of mineral development; Minimal aquifer and hydrological disturbance on the mining sites; Rapid data development/use for permitting and mine planning from governments and local communities; Autonomous operation in remote environments; and Increased access to deeper, more diffuse, hotter, lower grade resources. The domestic supply of critical minerals in the United States (U.S.) has been a national security and economic concern since the U.S. Critical Minerals Stockpiling Act was enacted in 1939. However, the capacity for U.S. mineral resource exploration and mining has been significantly reduced over the last several decades and the U.S. has become increasingly dependent on the international supply of critical minerals. Critical minerals such as nickel, copper, cobalt, lithium, rare earth elements, and platinum-group elements are key ingredients in many advanced technologies. Uses for these critical metals include computers and information services, defense industry applications, batteries for electric vehicles, and other clean energy industry technologies. The transition from fossil fuels to clean energy will depend on the extensive supplies of critical minerals for the products related to energy production, storage, and use. As a result, the annual demand for critical minerals is increasing rapidly. For example, nickel demand from the electric vehicle sector is expected to grow globally from 92 kilotons in 2020 to 2.6 megatons in 2040. With the combination of high demand due to rapid technological advancements and uncertain supply due to geopolitical risks, the U.S. domestic mineral supply is increasingly insufficient to support the transition from fossil fuels to renewable, clean energy sources. Further exacerbating the issue is that the current global mineral supply cannot support the U.S. transition to 100% electrification. Consequently, to meet the supply and demand, the U.S. could look towards the extraction of critical minerals from both conventional and unconventional resources.

This proposed agreement proposes three key aspects to support timely implementation of the WS EIS and AM Plan: 1. Development of simulation tools that are then transferred to managing agencies for ongoing implementation, 2. Demonstrated application of simulations to inform management direction under uncertainty 3. Incorporation of the best available data as it comes available to update the simulation modeling, leading to a more informed management decision. This will require a combination of salmon life cycle modeling, refinement and application of downstream passage modeling using the Fish Benefit Workbook developed by the Corps, and ongoing monitoring and analysis to inform these models. The proposed work includes completing analysis of effects of the preferred alternative on Upper Willamette River Spring Chinook and winter steelhead, supporting completion of the final EIS. Work proposed also includes description of an adaptive management framework wherein objectives, performance, uncertainty, risk, and value of information are explicitly quantified. This allows resource managers to 1) update testable hypotheses efficiently, 2) make use of limited data or disparate data types, 3) reduce analytical timelines, and 4) when presented with logistic or funding obstacles, can identify which monitoring data should be prioritized and collected thus remaining efficient with taxpayer dollars. The proposed work further includes refining the Corps Fish Benefit Workbook (FBW), recently converted to R, to address structural limitations identified in previous scientific reviews, and completion of FBW models delivered for future application by USACE and other parties. Similarly, proposed work includes development and delivery of lifecycle models for future application by USACE and other parties, with capabilities similar to those applied in the 2022 WS EIS. Analysis will occur once Biological Opinions from NMFS and USFWS are received and associated recommended changes (expected in summer 2024). Analysis during summer 2024 will be supported by contracts which expire in September 2024, however analysis will continue into fall 2024 and potentially winter 2025. Once final and a record of decision is signed, implementation and adaptive management begins during the remainder of 2025 and future years.

The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2000 authorized the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) as a framework for modifications and operational changes to the Central and Southern Florida Project needed to restore the south Florida ecosystem. Provisions within WRDA 2000 provided for specific authorization for an adaptive assessment and monitoring program. The CEPP is a CERP project expected to provide an additional 370,000 acre-feet of freshwater to the Everglades annually. Freshwater fishes and invertebrates play a critical role at the base of the food chain within Everglades marshes, providing food to iconic apex predators like wading birds and alligators. Changes in water quantity and quality that influence freshwater fish and invertebrate assemblage structure directly influences wading bird ecology and ecosystem integrity of Everglades marshes. Monitoring of fishes and large invertebrates is necessary to track changes in water management associated with restoration projects both within Everglades National Park and upstream within the Water Conservation Areas. Long-term monitoring data are required to support assessment of the changes in water management. This project will conduct field sample collection, process samples, and data analyses and evaluate the long-term data set with regards to natural resource condition assessments. The CEPP Adaptive Management and Ecological Monitoring Plans identify the freshwater fish and macroinvertebrate communities as essential attributes of the ecosystem that need to be monitored to assess the influence of the CEPP and to confirm additional freshwater is improving the production and availability of aquatic fauna (fish and macroinvertebrates) to support higher tropic levels. This monitoring of aquatic fauna will inform CEPP Adaptive Management actions associated with CEPP performance in conjunction with other CERP projects and non-CERP operations. Program Description/Objective: (brief description of the anticipated work) The purpose of this research is to leverage a long-term dataset to monitor the status and trends of freshwater fish and macroinvertebrate populations at established sites within Water Conservation Area 3 (WCA3) in order to determine pre-CEPP implementation baseline conditions for aquatic fauna to inform CEPP Adaptive Management and Ecological Monitoring Plans The project objectives include: Objective 1: Collect samples to monitor status and trends of large (>8cm) and small (<8cm) freshwater fish and macroinvertebrate populations at 10-12 established sites in WCA3 up to 5 times intra-annually. Objective 2: Establish and report the baseline condition of aquatic faunal abundances and biomasses for future use in a Before, After, Control, Impact (BACI) assessment of CEPP project implementation. Objective 3: Demonstrate progress and present results in the form of quarterly status reports, annual reports, and a final report. Public Benefit This project will play a critical role in determining the effect of the CEPP on the aquatic fauna community in WCA3 and continue to build upon the knowledge base for understanding the ecology of the freshwater trophic community in the Greater Everglades ecosystem. Data collected will be used to inform the successful implementation of the CEPP and support the CERP in reaching its restoration goals and objectives. Understanding aquatic faunal dynamics within WCA3 is critical to assess and the effects of hydrologic changes associated with CEPP implementation, ecosystem restoration, and climate change which have potential impacts on the economy of South Florida, including tourism, recreational opportunities, and water management.

The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on flood hazards and climate adaptation. The primary Research Objectives covered by this agreement include: (1) modeling to support future flood hazards and climate adaptation in the Pacific Northwest, including Puget Sound and the outer Pacific coast, (2) stakeholder engagement in USGS CoSMoS and Cascadia CoPes through shared networks and partners, (3) co-authoring peer-reviewed journal articles, and (4) attending meetings with the USGS Climate Impacts and Coastal Processes Team to build conceptual frameworks, align on research priorities, and coordinate strategies for work.

Background The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2000 authorized the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) as a framework for modifications and operational changes to the Central and Southern Florida Project needed to restore the south Florida ecosystem. Provisions within WRDA 2000 provided for specific authorization for an adaptive assessment and monitoring program. The CERP Monitoring and Assessment Plan (MAP) was developed as a framework for measuring and understanding system responses to CERP, determining how well CERP is meeting its goals and objectives, and identifying opportunities for improving the performance of CERP where needed. REstoration, COordination, VERification (RECOVER) is a multiagency, multidisciplinary group responsible for implementing the CERP MAP. Wading birds are a dominant guild of predators in the Everglades ecosystem and their breeding population responses are considered to be integrative and reflective of many aspects of wetland habitat and systemwide hydrologic conditions; thus wading birds have been identified as a key suite of indicator species of restoration success. Restoration has been centered on several trophic hypotheses regarding wading birds (e.g., appropriate hydrology will increase fish and macroinvertebrate populations, enhanced foraging opportunities will increase wading bird breeding, and the return of flow to coastal regions will restore wading bird nesting in those areas). Without the appropriate monitoring of wading bird colonies, these hypotheses cannot be assessed and CERP may not achieve its goals. To determine if restoration effects are system-wide or local, it is necessary to monitor all patches of wading bird breeding activity across the south Florida ecosystem. The Lake Okeechobee basin is just one patch of the landscape hosting breeding wading birds, but the information gathered is vital to determine the success of CERP. This project will draw upon prior research conducted in the Everglades and in Lake Okeechobee basin and will continue to study how CERP restoration influences breeding and reproductive success of wading bird populations. Program Description/Objective The purpose of this research is to continue a long-term dataset used to record and monitor changes in annual numbers and reproductive success of breeding wading bird populations in the Lake Okeechobee basin. The project objectives include: Objective 1: Provide an annual summary with monthly temporal resolution of the size, location, and species composition of nesting colonies of wading birds breeding in the Lake Okeechobee basin. Objective 2: Provide an annual summary of quantitative information on nest success and nest productivity of the wading bird community; and Objective 3: The standardization of methods and integration of results from all projects monitoring wading birds in the south Florida ecosystem. Additionally, there is potential work related to using blue-listed unmanned aerial vehicles to develop and assess alternative monitoring methods of wading bird breeding activity. The budget and scope should be developed as an Optional Task in addition to the work described above. There is also potential work related to the development of a predictive model of Lake Okeechobee wading bird breeding to be used as a RECOVER Performance Measure. The budget and scope should be developed as an Optional Task in addition to the work described above. Public Benefit This project will play a critical role in building the knowledge base for the population dynamics of wading birds near and in Lake Okeechobee as it relates to ecological conditions including restoration. Data to be collected includes nesting characteristics such as breeding timing, colony formation and size, nesting characteristics, nesting success, and species interactions. Wading birds are an ecological indicator of ecosystem health which is important to the public. Improvements in ecosystem health as result of ecological restoration and habitat management provide a direct benefit to the public by improving outdoor recreation opportunities and the economy of South Florida.

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in developing approaches to reintroducing native Guam birds in areas with Brown treesnake (BTS) control. BTS were introduced after World War II to Guam, and over several decades spread across the island decimating the native forest birds. Only two native species of forest birds still exist in the wild, but effort to control BTS for eventual reintroduction of birds is underway. Request documenting bird use around an area of intensive BTS control, the Control Population (CP) on Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. In addition to evaluating bird use, will also include developing methods to attract native birds from neighboring areas and developing and trialing technology (artificial nesting and roosting structures) for protecting birds from BTS predation. Work should include periodic bird surveys in and around the CP for a period of one year, construction of nesting and roosting structures to be deployed in the CP and assessing the use of such structures in the first year of deployment.

The U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to help build a program to (1) increase the understanding of how new soil and vegetation mapping products can improve land management decisions on western lands, (2) improve land-potential based decision tools, including state-and-transition models, and (3) increase the understanding of how drought and herbivory impact western lands. These are currently significant scientific challenges for management of large western landscapes in the face of climate change, drought, wildfire, and ongoing and changing land uses.

The specific research question to be addressed by this agreement is How do bed material loads, hydraulic roughness, and bedform regimes change based on hydraulic parameters, such as temperature, shear stress, stream power, slope, water velocity, etc. To answer this complex research question, a bed material load sediment transport capacity function will be derived using the best available data, including USGS suspended sediment concentration/load and the Missouri River 2014 sediment data collection effort. A bedform/roughness predictor algorithm will also be developed for the Missouri River. The effectiveness of these algorithms at predicting observed data must be demonstrated in a journal article to be coauthored by USACE. The methodology and results must also be discussed in the journal article. Two in-person meetings will be held (kickoff and final presentation) between USACE and the award recipient, as well as monthly virtual meetings.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) released its annual omnibus Research Announcement (NRA), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024 (OMB Approval Number 2700-0092, CFDA Number 43.001) on February 14, 2024. In this case "omnibus" means that this NRA has many individual program elements, each with its own due dates and topics. All together these cover the wide range of basic and applied supporting research and technology in space and Earth sciences supported by SMD. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and inter- or intra-agency transfers, depending on the nature of the work proposed, the proposing organization, and/or program requirements. However, most extramural research awards deriving from ROSES will be grants, and many program elements of ROSES specifically exclude contracts, because contracts would not be appropriate for the nature of the work solicited. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, but some programs may allow up to five years and others specify shorter periods. In most cases, organizations of every type, Government and private, for profit and not-for-profit, domestic and foreign (with some caveats), may submit proposals without restriction on teaming arrangements. Tables listing the program elements and due dates (Tables 2 and 3), a table that provides a very top level summary of proposal contents (Table 1), and the full text of the ROSES-2024 "Summary of Solicitation", may all be found NSPIRES at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024.
