The Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity for a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner to conduct research on pollinators of northern Arizona in semi-arid grasslands utilized by bison. The research will involve field-based data collection and analysis of quantified biological data. The goal is to examine pollinator communities, resources, and habitat quality in relation to areas of varying bison densities. The research aims to understand how bison-induced changes to plant communities may affect the pollinator communities that rely on flowing plants as food resources and habitat. The funding opportunity is a Cooperative Agreement with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling is $20,000 and the award floor is $10,000. Eligible applicants must be a participating partner of the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. The application deadline is May 22, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
