The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner to develop a new tool. This tool will support the use of established sediment bioavailability and toxicity screening metrics for assessing aquatic benthic invertebrate injury associated with contaminated sediments. The primary goal is to create a user-friendly dashboard tool that facilitates the use of sediment chemistry in injury assessment. This tool should incorporate references for standard methods, toxicity screening values, mechanistic models, and integrate information within a graphical interface. A dashboard utilizing graphical interfaces and calculation software like Excel is recommended for its ease of download, familiarity among Natural Resource Damage Assessment research (NRDAR) practitioners, and straightforward update capability with the latest screening criteria.
