The Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Colorado Plateau is offering this grant to develop improved, collaborative methods for integrating earth, environmental, and biological sciences into a robust policy framework. This grant specifically addresses critical public policy issues in the West, focusing on balanced land management for ecosystem services and water availability. It aims to integrate natural, social science, and behavioral economic models to understand complex regional land-use development and growth problems. Stakeholder involvement is essential. The initiative seeks to develop new tools for integrating and analyzing USGS science and other information in a GIS environment, and to link space/time natural science and economic data. This grant is for advancing interdisciplinary research and translating scientific findings into actionable environmental policy and decision-making.

| Description: | The objectives of the funding opportunity are to develop improved methods, using a collaborative approach, to integrate earth, environmental, and biological sciences information into a policy framework. For example, current pressures for balanced land management for ecosystem services and concerns about the availability of water have been identified as critical public policy issues in the West. These issues require the integration of natural and social science information and models with behavioral economic models to understand regional land-use development and growth problems that have evolved over space and time.
Stakeholder involvement is an essential element of the integration of multiple disciplines. Interdisciplinary research and information requires specialized science information as well as the ability to adapt natural science information to a decision-oriented framework to be useful for both policy analysis and decision-making. Activities required for analyses of public policy and environmental policy issues include: 1. To develop new methods, tools, processes, and products for integrating, using, and analyzing USGS science and other information in a GIS environment; and |
