The Economic Research Service (ERS) is offering a grant for economic research on invasive species management within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s policies and programs. This grant supports applied economic research with direct implications for USDA policies and programs related to the protection, control, regulation, and trade policies concerning invasive species. Research areas include invasive species of agricultural significance that cause economic or environmental harm. The grant aims to address national decision-making on invasive species affecting USDA programs, with an anticipated funding of approximately $750,000 for fiscal 2008. Proposals should focus on the economics of managing invasive species and their impact on ecosystems.

| Description: | The Economic Research Service (ERS) is accepting economic research proposals in two broad research areas of importance to the U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) invasive species policies and programs. The ERS program focuses on national decisionmaking related to invasive species of agricultural significance or ones that are affecting or are affected by USDA programs. The term invasive species is applied broadly to include any vertebrate, invertebrate, weed, fungus, plant disease, animal or livestock disease, or other organism that: 1) Is nonnative, alien, or exotic to the ecosystem where it exists or potentially could be introducedincluding agricultural, range, and forest ecosystems; and 2) When introduced causes, or is likely to cause, economic or environmental harm. Proposals should focus on applied economic research that has direct implications for USDA policies and programs for protection from, control/management of, regulation concerning, or trade policy relating to invasive species. Fiscal 2008 competitive funding is anticipated to be approximately $750,000. |
