The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Fort Collins Science Center (FORT) is providing funding to a CESU partner for research on developing and refining population and habitat models for grouse conservation. The grant aims to address the information needs of conservation planners and managers by focusing on sage-grouse and ptarmigan populations, ecosystem dynamics, and the impact of climate change. The research will provide valuable insights into population dynamics, metapopulation dynamics, and the effects of land-use practices on grouse populations, aiding in long-term conservation success. Applications involving data interpretation, spatial relations, and ecosystem trend documentation are encouraged. Closing date for applications is October 25, 2019.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Fort Collins Science Center (FORT) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to develop and refine population and habitat models to inform conservation and management of grouse populations, including Greater and Gunnison Sage-grouse (sage-grouse) and ptarmigan, and the habitats that support them. Recent decisions (2016) and future evaluations (2021) by Fish and Wildlife Service regarding sage-grouse, revision of land-management plans (federal agencies) and priorities in wildlife management plans (state agencies), and changing climate conditions, elevate the information needs of planners and managers. Specifically, practical information regarding grouse populations and the ecology and management of the shrub and grassland ecosystems that support them are needed to guide management decisions. For example, extensive data representing sage-grouse populations has been collected by multiple entities across the species¿ range and assembling this information for consistent interpretation and application is essential for long-term conservation success. Specifically, understanding spatial relations among sub-populations, including movements among sub-populations and functional relationships among sub-populations that affect population estimates; metapopulation dynamics and implications of land-use; and how management within the spatial hierarchy of lands that populations and metapopulations (groups of sub-populations) utilize affect these populations, is needed to help guide land-use planning, habitat and wildlife management. Documentation of patterns and trends in ecosystem conditions, including restoration and treatment effects, is growing, and concepts and analyses that link these results to population dynamics are also needed. |
