This grant, issued under the UMR Watershed Asian Carps Early Detection and Rapid Assessment Surveillance Program, aims to support critical research into zooplankton community dynamics. The objective is to enhance early detection and rapid assessment efforts for Asian Carps. A single-source grant agreement is intended for the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse due to the exceptional and unique expertise of a faculty member in zooplankton ecology. This expert’s specialized knowledge, coupled with the university’s advantageous proximity to relevant study sites near La Crosse, Wisconsin, ensures the most efficient and practical pursuit of the research objectives. Awarding this grant without competition avoids the impracticality and additional costs associated with finding researchers of comparable expertise or covering extensive travel for those located further away.

| Description: | This is a notice of intent to award a single source grant agreement to University of Wisconsin-La Crosse without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B.4. Competition for the award is not practical as a faculty member with University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is an expert in zooplankton ecology and the university’s proximity to study sites near La Crosse- Wisconsin is optimal for the efficient pursuit of the intended research program. Competition for this award is impractical because other researchers lack the faculty member’s unique expertise and/or would require additional funding for travel to complete the proposed research program. |
