Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 10
The grant opportunity titled "FORT WAINWRIGHT, AK CLIMATE CHANGE BASELINE ANALYSIS" is a Department of Defense funding solicitation focused on environmental analysis related to climate change at Fort Wainwright in Alaska. The purpose implied by the title and brief description is to support a baseline assessment of climate change conditions, risks, or impacts at the installation, establishing a foundational set of observations or analyses that can be used for planning, adaptation, and future decision-making. In practical terms, a baseline analysis for a military installation typically supports understanding how changing temperature, precipitation patterns, permafrost stability, wildfire risk, hydrology, and extreme weather could affect infrastructure, training ranges, natural resources, and long-term mission readiness, especially in a sensitive and rapidly changing Arctic and sub-Arctic environment like interior Alaska.
This opportunity was released by the Department of Defense through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District, which often manages environmental and resilience-related projects, including planning studies and technical assessments for military installations. The opportunity category is listed as discretionary, meaning funding is awarded competitively at the agency's discretion rather than by formula. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance. Compared with a standard grant, a cooperative agreement often includes more coordination with the agency, more iterative technical review, and more direct collaboration on deliverables, methods, or data integration.
The activity category is "Environment" and the listed CFDA number is 12.632, which corresponds to Department of Defense programs in the environmental arena. The funding opportunity number is "NWO CESU 17 10," which suggests it may be associated with a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism. CESU-linked opportunities commonly support applied research, technical assistance, and collaborative projects among federal agencies, universities, and research partners, particularly where scientific or ecological expertise is needed for management decisions. While the eligible applicants field is summarized as "Others," the solicitation notes that further clarification would be found in an additional eligibility section (not provided in the excerpt). In many CESU-related awards, eligibility can be limited to CESU network members or partners, but the exact eligibility requirements would depend on that missing text.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the award ceiling is listed at $181,190, and the agency expected to make one award. That combination points to a single, focused project with a defined scope of work rather than a broad multi-award program. The posted creation date was February 7, 2017, and the original closing date was March 6, 2017, giving applicants a relatively short application window typical of specialized technical solicitations. Because only one award was anticipated, selection likely depended on demonstrated technical capability to perform climate-related baseline assessments, familiarity with Alaska conditions and relevant datasets, and an ability to deliver decision-ready outputs for installation planning and risk management.
Overall, this grant opportunity can be understood as targeted funding for a technical baseline study that helps Fort Wainwright characterize and document climate change-related conditions and vulnerabilities. The end value of a baseline analysis is usually to provide a defensible reference point for future monitoring, to identify priority risks and affected assets, and to support strategies that reduce long-term costs and operational disruptions by improving resilience and adaptation planning for the installation.Apply for NWO CESU 17 10
