The USGS is offering a grant for research focused on investigating the impacts of the invasive brown tree snake on the ecological resiliency of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. The research aims to enhance Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) programs, identify restoration targets post-reduction in BTS abundance, and evaluate biosecurity measures in the Pacific Island region. Applications are accepted until April 30, 2020.
