Consult the GP-CESU Mission Statement, Cooperative Agreement (CA), and USGS
Technical Representative (TechRep) to confirm that the project is
appropriate for the GP-CESU. The USGS TechRep may ask to see a written
scope of work (or proposal), budget and timeline before approval.

- The
USGS TechRep and the USGS procurement official or other person knowledgeable
about the GP-CESU Cooperative Agreement will instruct you on how to
proceed. Steps will include:
a. The USGS and
research/university collaborators work together to prepare a proposal or scope
of work, detailed budget, and a timeline.
b. The
university/organization partner must complete SF424
(Application for Federal Assistance), SF424A (Budget
Information Form), the US Dept. of Interior
Certifications for Federal Assistance and any other paperwork their internal
contracts and grants office requires.
c. The
university/organization partner submits the proposal and paperwork to the USGS
cost center for funding. The USGS collaborator submits a requisition request to
the cost center.
d. If approved,
the USGS cost center forwards the proposal with an official DI-1 to HQ Office of
Aquisition & Grants. The proposal is then funded through a Research Cooperative
Project Award (i.e. modification to the GP-CESU CA) from the USGS to the
university under authority of a Master CESU Agreement. Research Cooperative
Project Awards should be processed through the administrative officer of the
originating USGS cost center in accordance with delegated procurement
authority. Work may begin once the project funds are transferred.
- The
agency contract specialist must send a copy of the award to the
GP-CESU Administrative Coordinator at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
- Copies
(electronic files) of the progress reports must be sent to the
Administrative Coordinator in addition to the funding agency manager.
- Once
work is complete, a hard copy and an electronic file of the final report
must be sent to the GP-CESU office (to be posted on web site). A
project abstract, or an executive summary will suffice in instances when the
end deliverable does not involve a final report.
