U.S. Army Corps of Engineers–Civil Works. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Program (hereinafter called USACE) provides assistance in the development and management of the nation’s water resources. The main missions of USACE, i.e., the Corps, are 1) to facilitate commercial navigation, 2) to protect citizens and their property from flood and storm damages, and 3) to protect and restore environmental resources. The Corps carries out most of its work in partnership with Tribal, state, and local governments and other nonfederal entities. The Corps must rely upon using the best available science in the evaluation of water resources needs and in the development of recommendations for water resources management. The university and scientific institutions that comprise the CESU Network have knowledge and expertise of the latest scientific advances that will assist the Corps in reaching sound, scientifically based decisions. In addition, by participating in the CESU, scientists within the Corps will have access to university resources within the CESU Network and be able to interact with colleagues in various scientific disciplines, and thereby further their own professional development. Corps field offices may avail themselves of support from the regional CESUs by collaborating with the Engineer Research and Development Center, who has the authority to enter into cooperative agreements with such CESUs, thus enabling these Corps offices to receive scientific support from regional CESU members. USACE is authorized to cooperate with other agencies in accordance with Title 33 U.S.C. § 2323(a) and 10 U.S.C. § 3036(d). Additionally, USACE may enter into transactions under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2371 in carrying out basic, applied, and advanced research projects. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2358, USACE is authorized to enter into this cooperative agreement continuing the South Florida–Caribbean CESU.
