The Department of the USGS presents a grant opportunity for CESU partners to conduct research on the hybridization of pallid sturgeon and shovelnose sturgeon to improve species identification. The research aims to develop genetic tools for effective management strategies in large river ecosystems where the sturgeons are found. The closing date for this grant is Sep 06, 2016.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESUâ¿¿s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. |

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on â¿¿Characterizing Hybridization of the Pallid Sturgeon and Evaluating Analyses to Improve Species Identification and Assess the Threat of Introgression.â¿ Considerable uncertainty exists regarding the nature, frequency and extent of hybridization between the endangered pallid sturgeon and the common shovelnose sturgeon throughout its range. Resolving this uncertainty is crucial to developing management strategies to recover endangered sturgeon and to prioritize management actions in the large river ecosystems where they reside. Current genetic markers and analyses are insufficient to adequately characterize hybridization between these species and research is needed to identify pathways forward to rapidly develop cost-effective genetic tools. |
