The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this grant to provide technical assistance and expertise for diatom species identification. This supports federal, state, tribal, and university programs, enhancing water quality and biodiversity assessments by aiding land managers in developing consistent, accurate diatom datasets across the U.S. The USGS will support academic institutions for precise taxonomic treatments. Collaborators will resolve taxonomic issues for common diatoms in U.S. flowing waters, accessing extensive US collections. The project aims to produce at least 100 “taxon pages” for an online diatom flora.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a financial assistance opportunity to provide technical assistance and expertise to diatom analysts identifying diatom species in federal, state, tribal and university programs for water quality and biodiversity assessment. Technical assistance will specifically support land managers to develop consistent and accurate datasets for diatom species in the United States.
USGS will provide technical support to assist academic institutions in carrying out their goals and objectives to complete accurate taxonomic treatments of diatoms. The collaborator will have the opportunity to resolve taxonomic issues related to the most common diatoms and similar species in flowing waters of the US. The study will offer access to material from US collections from EPA, USGS NAWQA and other programs. The objective of the project is to produce a minimum of 100 taxon pages for posting on an online diatom flora. |
