The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this cooperative agreement, specifically through its Wyoming State Office, to Texas A and M University. This grant is for the purpose of analyzing genetic variability in wild horses and burros through DNA collection and analysis from hair samples. The primary goal is to determine the current genetic status of these herds across the western United States, focusing on measures such as the level of polymorphism, individual heterozygosity, and the effective number of alleles. The project is anticipated to span a five-year period, with continued funding dependent on satisfactory progress and the availability of funds from the BLM.

| Description: | The Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming State Office, intends to award a cooperative agreement with Texas A and M University to analyze measures of genetic variability in wild horses and burros through the collection and analysis of DNA in order to determine the current genetic status of wild horse and burro herds across the western United States. These measures include: level of polymorphism, individual heterozygosity and the effective number of alleles.
The anticipated length of the project is a five year period. The BLM will consider continued funding for the project upon (a) the recipient showing progress satisfactory to the BLM toward program goals and the determination by the BLM that continuation of the program would be in the best interest of the Government or (b) the availability of funds. The total project period for this award will not exceed 60 months. |
