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 Great Lakes-Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.
What it funds
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research that supports cisco restoration priorities in Lakes Huron and Erie by hiring a structured decision-making expert and convening a structured decision-making workshop to help fisheries managers develop a restoration plan and by hiring a scientist to conduct experiments to determine what environmental conditions can lead to the highest quality cisco that can be produced in hatcheries for reintroduction.
