Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00424
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G23AS00424) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cooperative agreement offered through the Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) Program. The focus is research and development of imagery-based techniques for measuring surface water elevation, commonly referred to as water stage. USGS is interested in approaches that use passive remote sensors and then apply modern processing methods such as edge detection filters and machine learning to reliably extract water levels from images. The underlying idea is that recent advances in sensing and computer vision have made camera-based or imagery-based stage monitoring more practical than in the past, and the program is looking to support work that pushes these methods forward.
The award is being issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, specifically tied to the Chesapeake Watershed CESU. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofits, and other research organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education that supports public needs. Because this award is routed through the CESU system, eligibility is limited: applicants must already be participating partners in the Chesapeake Watershed CESU program. In other words, it is not a broadly open competition for any organization; it is intended for organizations that are already part of that established cooperative network.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial federal involvement during the project compared with a standard grant. The activity area is listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 15.808. The posting lists an award ceiling of $338,378. The opportunity was created on June 13, 2023, with an original closing date of July 21, 2023.Apply for G23AS00424

What is the Funding Opportunity Number?
The Funding Opportunity Number is G23AS00424.
Who is offering the award?
The award is offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
What program is this associated with?
The opportunity is offered through the Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) Program.
What problem area or topic is being funded?
The funded work is intended to advance imagery-based methods for measuring water stage (surface water elevation), with an emphasis on approaches that use passive remote sensors and modern image-processing techniques to extract water level information from images.
What does "imagery-based water stage" mean in this context?
In this opportunity, imagery-based water stage refers to using camera or other passive imagery sources to observe water surfaces and then processing those images to estimate the water elevation (stage) in a reliable way.
What kinds of sensors or data sources are of interest?
USGS specifically indicates interest in approaches that use passive remote sensors (for example, passive imagery systems rather than active sensors).
What processing methods does USGS want to see explored?
The opportunity highlights modern processing approaches such as edge detection filters and machine learning for reliably extracting water levels from images.
Why is USGS interested in camera-based or imagery-based stage monitoring now?
The opportunity notes that recent advances in sensing and computer vision have made camera-based or imagery-based stage monitoring more practical than it was in the past, and the program aims to support work that pushes these methods forward.
What is the funding instrument type?
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement.
