The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity for research focused on global wildlife genetic and genomic data. This grant aims to standardize, aggregate, analyze, and disseminate this critical information for improved wildlife management and community best practices. The project will establish a genetic database comprising approximately 150 global datasets and their metadata. Researchers will analyze this data, correlating it with historical climatic stability, species richness, and anthropogenic factors. The primary purpose is to enhance understanding of genetic diversity’s spatio-environmental distribution, forecasting areas likely to harbor high diversity. The resulting database will facilitate spatiotemporal maps, valuable for conservation planning and environmental impact assessments by natural resource managers.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity for research on “Standardizing, aggregating, analyzing and disseminating global wildlife genetic and genomic data for improved management and advancement of community best practices.” The project will build a genetic database of ~150 global datasets and their metadata. Researchers will correlate genetic and genomic data with historical climatic stability, species richness, and anthropogenic factors to improve understanding of the spatio-environmental distribution of genetic diversity, and to forecast if regions or populations are likely to harbor high genetic diversity. The database will be used to create spatiotemporal maps of measured genetic diversity across species of value to conservation planning and environmental impact assessments by natural resource managers. |
