This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), is specifically designed to support a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)-affiliated partner, particularly those connected with the Gulf Coast CESU. The primary purpose of this funding opportunity is to advance critical research in the development of eDNA (environmental DNA) qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) markers. These markers are crucial tools for the early detection of invasive species, enabling timely and effective management strategies to protect ecosystems. This cooperative agreement seeks to enhance scientific understanding and technological capabilities in environmental monitoring, contributing significantly to conservation efforts by providing innovative methods for identifying and tracking biological invasions.
