More on who can apply
This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program. CESU's are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.
What it funds
The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research for meeting partner needs for quantifying current status and trends of North American amphibian populations and outcomes of management interventions. The research will be conducted in collaboration with USGS partners at the USGS Eastern Ecological Research Center and the USGS Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative. Specific work will focus on three areas of need: 1) assisting with model development and analysis of data from an ongoing national amphibian disease study; 2) prototyping methods for dynamic integrated distribution models; and 3) assisting with development of decision tools for management of an endangered amphibian on DOI lands.
