The U.S. Geological Survey¿s Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center is offering a grant to improve inferences on blister rust prevalence in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The project aims to enhance the understanding of monitoring data on whitebark pine trees and collaborate with key stakeholders for better resource management decisions. The grant will support research on Bayesian decision analysis and statistical approaches to aid in the preservation of this iconic species. Deadline: May 22, 2020.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | U.S. Geological Survey¿s (USGS) Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NoROCK) is offering a funding opportunity to improve model- and design-based inferences for the prevalence of blister rust in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). The proposed project will advance our understanding of approaches to model long-term monitoring data collected since 2004 in the GYE on whitebark pine trees. Statisticians from NoROCK and cooperators will collaborate with the Greater Yellowstone Monitoring Network and Bureau of Land Management to understand resource management decision needs. In the first year of the project the cooperator will explore a Bayesian decision analysis, potential application of Bayesian multi-state model for estimating transition probabilities, or other statistical approaches that hold potential to improve the information to managers tasked with preserving this iconic species. |
