Department of Interior – Region 4 Genetic Management Plans Grant

This grant by the Department of Interior in Region 4 aims to provide genetic management plans and data for six listed species in the southeastern United States, including Ouachita Rock Pocketbook, Cumberlandian Combshell, Fanshell, Spectaclecase, Bog Turtle, and Pink Mucket. The project involves generating genetic data, analyzing it to determine ideal broodstock populations, developing genetics management plans, and publishing peer-reviewed papers. The funding opportunity seeks to support the regional geneticist through a postdoctoral researcher, contributing to the conservation genetics of these species. For inquiries, contact Artela Jacobs at (404) 679-7197 or artela_jacobs@fws.gov. Closing date for submissions is Aug 31, 2017.

Description:	NOTICE OF INTENT. This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This funding opportunity is being implemented to provide genetic management plans and associated genetic data for six listed species in the southeastern United States. Specific objectives of the project include: 1) Provide technical support to the Service’s regional geneticist by way of a postdoctoral researcher; 2) Generate genetic data consisting of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms for the following 6 species: Ouachita Rock Pocketbook (Arkansia wheeleri), Cumberlandian Combshell (Epioblasma brevidens), Fanshell (Cyprogenia stegaria), Spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta), Bog Turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), Pink Mucket (Lampsilis abrupta); 3) Analyze genetic data to determine ideal broodstock populations for the above six species; 4) Develop a genetics management plan for each species; and 5) Publish peer-reviewed papers on conservation genetics of the above six species. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed assistance based upon Departmental Manual 505DM2, paragraph 2.14 (B) (2) is solely within the discretion of the Government. Questions concerning this announcement should be directed to Artela Jacobs (404) 679-7197 or by email at artela_jacobs@fws.gov.
