| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on the ecology of wild horses and burros in the Western USA. Studies will be field-based and will be conducted across 5 states.
The National Academies of Science (NAS) conducted a science review of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse and burro program. An outcome of this NAS review was a number of recommendations for new research, identification of data gaps, and knowledge needs. This opportunity is to fill some of those data needs with collaborative research conducted jointly by USGS and CESU partners. |
