The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a Cooperative Agreement funding opportunity for a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant is specifically for conducting vital research on wild horse population demography and ecology across the Western USA. The research will involve a combination of rigorous field-based data collection and advanced data analyses utilizing modelling techniques. This initiative directly addresses critical data gaps and knowledge needs identified in the 2013 National Academies of Science (NAS) review of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse and burro program. The primary purpose of this grant is to facilitate collaborative research between USGS and a CESU partner, aiming to enhance scientific understanding and inform management strategies for wild horse populations.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on wild horse population demography and ecology throughout the Western USA. This research will be comprised of a combination of field-based data collection and research, and data analyses through modelling techniques. The National Academies of Science (NAS) conducted a science review of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse and burro program in 2013. An outcome of this NAS review was a number of recommendations for new research, identification of data gaps, and knowledge needs. The aim is to fill some of those data needs with collaborative research conducted jointly by USGS and CESU partner. |
