Active Government Funding Opportunities

USGS seeks a research partner to develop an enhanced gene expression panel that can distinguish among multiple stressors affecting marine species like sea lions, salmon, and mussels. The goal is early warning and ecosystem monitoring to support recovery and management decisions.

This Interior Department cooperative agreement seeks a robust method to correct for solution chemistry interferences in molecularly imprinted polymer electrochemical sensors used to detect contaminants like PFAS in complex environmental water. The work involves bench-scale proof of concept testing that scales to field-deployed trials.

This USGS cooperative agreement seeks research partners to build decision support tools for managing chronic wasting disease in deer and elk. The work models disease spread and tests surveillance and management strategies to protect wildlife across the northeastern and western US.

Seeks a partner to develop lidar-based workflows that estimate floodplain connectivity across Great Basin riverscapes, replacing limited field-based methods. The goal is scalable, continuous measures of river and riparian health to guide restoration and fish and wildlife recovery.

Seeking a CESU partner to support cisco restoration in Lakes Huron and Erie through a structured decision-making workshop for fisheries managers and experiments identifying hatchery conditions that produce the highest-quality cisco for reintroduction. It addresses declining native fish populations by combining decision science with applied aquaculture research.

USGS Powell Center seeks research to map where aquatic contaminants pose risks to aerial insectivorous birds across the U.S. and Europe. The spatially explicit framework will help decision makers anticipate environmental health risks at local, regional, and continental scales.

Research cooperative agreement studying how invasive cheatgrass fuels repeated wildfires in eastern sagebrush and Great Plains grasslands. The goal is mapping the invasive grass-fire cycle and identifying management strategies that help communities reduce wildfire risk.

Seeks scientific research on invasive plant risks in Hawaiʻi, analyzing horticultural trade and invasion records to identify high-risk species and areas. Findings will guide early detection, screening, and management to reduce wildfire, erosion, and ecosystem harm.

Seeks research to build a predictive modeling tool that forecasts non-native fish invasions, like brook trout and smallmouth bass, threatening bull trout and other native fish in Northwest freshwater streams. The tool will help managers prioritize actions to protect these ecosystems under changing climate conditions.

Seeks research partners to study how invasive plant control methods can stay effective as rising temperatures boost invasive plant growth in the Northeast. The work synthesizes practitioner experience and scientific evidence to help land managers adapt treatment strategies.

NSF seeks foundational engineering research on novel electrical, photonic, quantum devices, and advanced communications/sensing systems. Projects should explore transformative capabilities without requiring near-term commercialization or deployment plans.

NSF seeks foundational research in civil infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, intelligent systems, and materials science. Projects should be intellectually ambitious with potential for transformative breakthroughs, not requiring near-term commercial outcomes.

NSF funds foundational geosciences research across atmospheric, geospace, Earth, and ocean sciences. Projects advance knowledge frontiers with no requirement for near-term commercial outcomes, emphasizing intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative discoveries.

NAWCWD seeks novel solutions in naval air warfare and weapons technologies to advance Navy and Marine Corps operations. This broad BAA accepts basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development proposals through September 2027 across multiple science and engineering disciplines.

DoD seeks a Large Class Hopper Dredge replacement vessel with advanced station-keeping capabilities, cyber resilience certification, and high-volume sediment loading performance for coastal navigation channel maintenance.

DESC2103C seeks construction of bulk fuel storage tanks and supporting facility systems at Yokota Air Base, Japan, with optional automatic tank gauging installation. This is a firm fixed-price construction project for military infrastructure modernization.

Maintenance dredging contract for Philadelphia Navy Yard's Reserve Basin, removing approximately 96,611 cubic yards of sediment to enable safe naval vessel decommissioning and maneuvering.

DoD seeks comprehensive design-bid-build services for a U.S. Naval Hospital alteration at Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan. Project encompasses civil, architectural, MEP, security, sustainability, and life safety systems within existing facility constraints.

DoD seeks qualified contractors for multi-mission dry dock construction and infrastructure optimization at shipyards. This multiple-award contract requires demonstrated experience in large-scale naval facility construction, surety bonding capacity, and past performance documentation.

DoD seeks manufacturers for Vertical Launching System Launch Sequencer components and assemblies through a multiple award indefinite delivery contract. This procurement covers production, assembly, testing, and delivery of MK6 MOD1 LSEQ units, spare kits, and associated modules for naval systems.
