The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct research on at-risk amphibians in the western United States. The primary objective of this research is to assess the distribution and threats faced by these amphibians, focusing on factors such as drought, non-native predators, habitat loss, environmental degradation, and pathogens. This initiative is crucial for understanding and mitigating the impacts on amphibian populations, which are a priority for the Department of the Interior and other stakeholders. Interested applicants must be participating partners of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program, with funding amounts ranging from $108,170 to $216,339. Applications must be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. ET on July 29, 2024, and inquiries can be directed to Faith Graves at fgraves@usgs.gov.
