This grant is for advancing scientific understanding and supporting natural resource management through the production and delivery of maps detailing historical, real-time, and forecasted plant and animal activity. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this opportunity to a CESU-affiliated partner. The primary purpose is to equip natural resource managers with tools to predict and manage critical issues such as invasive species, insect pests, wildlife disease, and aeroallergens across various U.S. lands, including National Parks and Bureau of Land Management areas. This initiative will foster new data products, including forecasts of organism activity, and build crucial collaborations with federal and DOI bureaus to optimize land, water, species, and habitat management decisions.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in the production and delivery of maps of historical, real-time and forecasted plant and animal activity to be used by natural resource managers to predict and manage invasive species, insect pests, wildlife disease, aeroallergens, recreational opportunities, and critical habitats within managed and natural areas including National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, Bureau of Land Management lands, and other protected and managed areas lands across the United States.Ultimately, this funding opportunity will advance scientific understanding of patterns and drivers of seasonal activity of organisms and will support management activities by developing new data products including forecasts of the activity of invasive species, vectors of disease, and nuisance organisms such as forest insect pests. The opportunity includes building and maintaining collaborations with federal and other partners, but particularly Bureaus within DOI, that require science in land, water, species and habitat management to best supportmanagement decisions and activities. |
