Natural Resources and Endangered Species Research and Support at Fort Cavazos, Texas

The Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is inviting applications for a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources and endangered species research and support at Fort Cavazos, Texas. The primary objective of this funding opportunity is to provide logistical and research support for the management of natural resources and endangered species, particularly the golden-cheeked warbler and black-capped vireo, while balancing military training requirements with conservation mandates. This initiative is crucial for maintaining biodiversity on federal lands and ensuring compliance with environmental laws, thereby benefiting both the ecosystem and public welfare. The total estimated funding for this program is $983,000, with a single award anticipated, and applications are due by August 13, 2025. Interested applicants, particularly non-federal partners of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit, can reach out to Stacy Thurman at stacy.d.thurman@usace.army.mil for further information.
