Timeline
    Description

    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for partners affiliated with the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) to conduct a study on grassland bird communities in the context of climate change. The objective of this funding is to develop predictive bird distribution maps that will assist land managers in prioritizing conservation efforts amidst the ongoing decline of grassland bird populations due to habitat loss and climate variability. This initiative is crucial for enhancing conservation planning and understanding the impacts of changing vegetation and land-use patterns on bird species across the Great Plains. Interested applicants can apply for funding ranging from $0 to $100,000, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. ET on August 23, 2024. For further inquiries, contact Faith Graves at fgraves@usgs.gov.
