The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement specifically tailored for a partner affiliated with a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). This grant is designed to support critical research focused on the development of environmental DNA (eDNA) markers. The primary purpose of this research is the early detection of invasive species, a crucial step in preventing their spread and mitigating their environmental and economic impacts. This funding opportunity aims to enhance our capability to identify invasive threats efficiently and effectively through innovative scientific methods. By supporting eDNA marker development, the USGS seeks to advance conservation efforts and protect natural ecosystems from the pervasive challenge of invasive species.
