The National Park Service is offering this grant to fund six Great Lakes-Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Projects. This grant is designed to improve the scientific foundation for managing public lands by providing high-quality scientific research, technical assistance, and education to resource managers. Selected projects span diverse areas, including historical climate trends, avian botulism pathways, lake bottom mapping, public engagement strategies, sediment toxicity assessment, and indigenous land use impacts. These interdisciplinary ecosystem studies leverage biological, physical, social, and cultural sciences to resolve resource problems across various scales. The National Park Service will be substantially involved in fulfilling the tasks and objectives of these funded projects.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Participating Universities of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units National Network (http://www.cesu.psu.edu/). The seventeen CESUs bring together scientists, resource managers, students, and other conservation professionals, drawing upon expertise from across the biological, physical, social, cultural, and engineering disciplines (from Anthropology to Zoology) to conduct collaborative and interdisciplinary applied projects that address natural and cultural heritage resource issues at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context. Each CESU is structured as a working collaborative with participation from numerous federal and nonfederal institutional partners. CESUs are based at host universities and focused on a particular biogeographic region of the country. |
