The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner. This funding is for research focused on the application of species distribution models. The grant’s purpose is to enhance and update existing methodologies through specialized R programming expertise. Additionally, the selected partner will apply these advanced models to critical invasive species issues affecting lands managed by the Department of the Interior (DOI). This initiative aims to provide vital scientific support for ecological management by refining modeling techniques and addressing practical challenges posed by invasive species across DOI ecosystems. It seeks to integrate R programming skills with ecological modeling to generate actionable insights.
