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.

Section 11528 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58, November 15, 2021), established the Pollinator-Friendly Practices on Roadsides and Highway Rights-of-Way Program (Roadside Pollinator Program), codified at 23 U.S.C. 332. This is the first NOFO under this program, and the total amount of funding available in this NOFO is up to $3 million. FHWA will award funding to State DOTs, Indian Tribes, and Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs) who are seeking to benefit pollinators on roadsides and highway rights-of-way on routes eligible for Federal-aid.The goals of the Roadside Pollinator Program are to fund the implementation, improvement, or further development of the applicants Pollinator Friendly Practices Plan (Plan) on routes eligible for Federal-aid. The United States has an estimated 3.9 million miles of roadway and suitable roadsides and rights-of-way represent a significant area that can be transformed into pollinator habitat through the planting of native plants and wildflowers. Roadsides can provide habitat for a diverse community of pollinators, including opportunities to forage for feeding, nesting and breeding. Roadsides extend across a variety of landscapes and can support ecological connectivity and the dispersal of pollinators by linking fragmented habitats. By acting as refugia for pollinators in otherwise inhospitable landscapes, roadside habitat can contribute to the maintenance of healthy ecosystems and provision of ecological services such as crop pollination services.The Roadside Pollinator Program is a unique program that has some important differences from other FHWA and DOT discretionary grant programs, including the requirement for an applicant to submit a Plan (23 U.S.C. 332(c) and (d)), the requirement for FHWA to fund all satisfactory applications (23 U.S.C. 332(e)(1)), and the requirement for FHWA to base the amount of all awards on the number of PFPs that the applicant has implemented or plans to implement (23 U.S.C. 332(e)(2)(A)). Due to the unique nature of the Roadside Pollinator Program, FHWA is requiring applicants to use an Application Template.The Roadside Pollinator Program may fund the implementation of pollinator-friendly practices (PFPs) included in a Plan or the improvement or further development of a Plan (23 U.S.C. 332(f)). The total activities to be funded by an applicant with a Roadside Pollinator Program award are referred to as the Roadside Pollinator Project throughout this NOFO.

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.

These partnerships build and strengthen measurable, sustainable capacity while helping to develop and adopt evidence-based and innovative solutions to prevent, rapidly detect, effectively respond to, and ultimately recover from emerging infectious disease (EID) threats1 whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate.

Please note that this program requests optional Notices of Intent, which are due via NSPIRES by June 4, 2024. See the full posting on NSPIRES for details. Proposers must retrieve the instructions document (zip file) associated with the application package for this opportunity as there is at least one required form that must be attached to the submitted proposal package. 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. This synopsis is associated with one of the individual program elements within ROSES, but this is a generic summary that is posted for all ROSES elements. For specific information on this particular program element download and read the PDF of the text of this program element by going to Tables 2 or 3 of this NRA at http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024table2 and http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024table3, respectively, click the title of the program element of interest, a hypertext link will take you to a page for that particular program element. On that page, on the right side under "Announcement Documents" the link on the bottom will be to the PDF of the text of the call for proposals. For example, if one were interested in The Lunar Data Analysis Program (NNH24ZDA001N-LDAP) one would follow the link to the NSPIRES page for that program element and then to read the text of the call one would click on C.8 Lunar Data Analysis Program (.pdf) to download the text of the call. If one wanted to set it into the context of the goals, objectives and know the default rules for all elements within Appendix C, the planetary science division, one might download and read C.1 Planetary Science Research Program Overview (.pdf) from that same page. While the letters and numbers are different for each element within ROSES (A.12, B.7, etc.) the basic configuration is always the same, e.g., the letter indicates the Science Division (A is Earth Science, B is Heliophysics etc.) and whatever the letter, #1 is always the division overview. Frequently asked questions for ROSES are posted at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs. Questions concerning general ROSES-2024 policies and procedures may be directed to Max Bernstein, Lead for Research, Science Mission Directorate, at [email protected], but technical questions concerning specific program elements should be directed to the point(s) of contact for that particular element, who may be found either at the end of the individual program element in the summary table of key information or on the web list of topics and points of contact at: http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list. Not all program elements are known at the time of the release of ROSES. To be informed of new program elements or amendments to this NRA, proposers may subscribe to: (1) The SMD mailing lists (by logging in at http://nspires.nasaprs.com and checking the appropriate boxes under "Account Management" and "Email Subscriptions"), (2) The ROSES-2024 blog feed for amendments, clarifications, and corrections to at https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2024/, and (3) The ROSES-2024 due date Google calendars (one for each science division).

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) administers an Alumni Outreach Program which aims to expand outreach to alumni of U.S. government-funded exchange programs. Projects must be initiated by alumni of U.S. government exchange programs. The program will provide small grants to alumni associations to support visionary initiatives with measurable goals, including those of value to local communities. Projects that encourage activism in areas such as community service and development, promoting democratic advancement across the political spectrum, and economic reform are examples of priority initiatives. These grants serve as one-time opportunities to support alumni in their efforts to launch projects that build on their participation in exchange programs. Projects should be designed to be sustainable after the performance period is over.

The Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing (SCMF) program supports service coordinator positions for elderly individuals and non-elderly persons with disabilities living in HUD assisted housing. Service coordinators play a critical role in connecting older adults and persons with disabilities with community-based supportive services for independent living and reducing premature and unnecessary transitions to higher levels of care. Service Coordinators work to promote access to resources, financial security, social connections, health and well-being for residents in assisted housing. Service coordinators help residents identify and access supportive services that will enable them to continue living independently in the community and age in place. Participation in the service coordinator program is voluntary, and residents choose which services they accept. Service coordinators work with residents and their families to identify the individual needs and preferences of residents and connect them with appropriate resources. Services may include nutrition support, housekeeping and shopping assistance, coordination with healthcare providers, help accessing public benefits, financial management assistance, and other services that support Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) including services for persons with severe disabilities. Service coordinators also organize educational programming that gives residents tools to support independent living, and help property management better understand the service and support needs of their particular resident population.
