- Evaluating the Bioaccessibility of Lead and Other Elements in Contaminated Soils from Variety of Environments
The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in biogeochemistry to evaluate the bioaccessibility of lead and other elements in contaminated soils from variety of environments.
Research Objectives:
1) Evaluate the use of an established in vitro method for lead bioaccessibility (EPA method 1340) for assessing the biogeochemistry of lead and other elements in contaminated soils.
2) Analyze soil samples for lead bioaccessibility from a variety of contaminant sources including battery recycling facilities, shooting ranges, lead paint, and legacy emissions from vehicles that used leaded gasoline prior to 1990. Approximately 150 soil samples (50 samples in three size fractions) will be available for testing.
3) Analyze other elements (Al, As, Bi, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mg, Sb, Sn, and Zn) in extractions from in vitro testing to evaluate discrimination between contaminant sources using element ratios.
4) Collaborate on interpretive reports including data on the bioaccessibility of Pb and other elements in contaminated soils, and similar areas of investigation.Award Information: It is anticipated that one award will be made with one base year and one renewal year. The total estimated funding for this project is $33,100. Funding in the amount of $22,000 is estimated to be available for Fiscal Year 2024. Additional funding in the amount of $11,100 is estimated to be available for Fiscal Year 2025. Additional funding may be available, based upon satisfactory progress.
Funding Source: Department of the Interior, U.S.G.S.

- Social Network Analysis of the Environmental Justice and Climate Justice Community Active in Climate Adaptation and Conservation
The funding opportunity is being offered to develop and test a methodology for conducting social network analyses nationally and at each regional Climate Adaptation Science Center (CASC) in order to identify organizations engaging in environmental justice and climate justice work that might overlap with CASC efforts. The recipient will develop the methodology for a social network analysis to identify, map and measure relationship patterns. The recipient will then apply the methodology in a national analysis for NCASC and a minimum of two Regional CASC analyses.
Funding Source: U.S. Geological Survey
Closing Date for Applications: Aug 09, 2024 Electronically submitted applications must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m., ET, on the listed application due date.
For more information see the listing on Grants.gov - 2024 SPSD Collaborative Soil Survey Research
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil and Plant Science Division (NRCS SPSD), is announcing the potential availability of funding for agreements for the purposes of supporting cooperative research in soil science and soil survey. The purpose of the 2024 Soil Survey Cooperative Research Proposals is to promote research that informs and improves soil survey. Each proposal must include significant collaboration with soil survey personnel (such as those at the National Soil Survey Center, MLRA Soil Survey or Regional offices). The proposal’s deliverables and their connection to soil survey must be clearly explained. Extra consideration will be given to proposals that include Dynamic Soil Survey research support, with close collaboration with National Soil Survey Center Research Soil Scientists. The work should have national or broad regional application to fill gaps in soil survey databases, provide new approaches to collecting or interpreting soil survey data, and/or address emerging issues in the national research priority areas.
Funding Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture
Closing Date for Applications: July 08, 2024 Applications must be received by 11:59 pm Eastern Time.
Eligibility: Limited to institutions of higher education in the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network
