This grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service aims to provide financial support for research focused on supporting Topeka shiner conservation efforts in collaboration with various partners. The project aligns with the USFWS Strategic Habitat Conservation business model, emphasizing Biological Planning, Conservation Design, Research/Monitoring/Evaluation, and Implementation/Project Delivery. The funding will contribute to survey data collection, population distribution analysis, habitat relationship assessment, development of habitat goals, geospatial data analysis, and the creation of habitat models for the Topeka shiner species in the Flint Hills region of Kansas.

| Description: | The agreement that will result from this funding opportunity will provide financial support from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the recipient to conduct research necessary to support Topeka shiner efforts by USFWS, NPS, KDWPT, TNC, and other partners. To successfully implement Topeka shiner recovery efforts, this project is consistent with implementation of the USFWS Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) business model. This business model is built on four critical elements. These critical elements include: Biological Planning, Conservation Design, Research/Monitoring/Evaluation, and Implementation/Project Delivery. When implemented these elements provide a feedback mechanism that refines conservation delivery through time. This agreement will facilitate funding to support the critical elements of the SHC business model. This agreement will support the biological planning element through; collection of survey and census data relevant to priority species (Topeka shiner), analysis of survey and census data to develop and refine population distributions, assessment of local and landscape habitat relationships, development of population based habitat goals, collection and analysis of geospatial data to document habitat/landscape conditions, development of biologically driven spatially explicit habitat models for species of concern, development of GIS data that inventory habitat conditions and occurrence of Topeka shiner. |
