The USGS National Wildlife Health Center is offering a grant to monitor the declining Mariana Crow population on Rota. The grant aims to research and understand the poorly understood inflammatory disease affecting the juvenile Mariana Crows, which has contributed to a 90% decline in their population since the 1980s. By investigating this disease, the grant seeks to develop strategies to improve the first-year survival rates of the Mariana Crows and potentially save the species from further decline. The closing date for applications is April 13, 2019.

| Description: | The Mariana Crow population on Rota has declined by 90% since the 1980s, largely due to poor first year survival. Between 2009 and 2018, the primary cause of death for juvenile Mariana Crows necropsied by the USGS National Wildlife Health Center was a poorly understood inflammatory disease with pathology suggestive of an infectious agent. To date, twenty aga carcasses, representing nearly 10% of the current population, have shown evidence of this disease. |
