About this award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity awarded a $2.97 million cost-no-fee definitive contract to The Regents of the University of California (UC Berkeley) on September 13, 2021, for SERDP Project RC21-1034 titled "Advanced Biosecurity Tools for Controlling Invasive, Alien Terrestrial Species (IATS) in Support of Enhanced Strategic Mobility." This contract was awarded without set-aside designation through the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, a Department of Defense initiative that supports environmental research and development projects addressing critical national defense priorities. The research will be performed in Berkeley, California, with a completion date of September 13, 2026, and involves developing advanced biosecurity tools and methodologies to manage invasive terrestrial species that threaten military operational readiness and strategic mobility across DoD installations.
UC Berkeley established a collaborative research team involving four major subcontractors to execute the project objectives. Virginia Tech (awarded September 18, 2023) leads arthropod inventory baseline establishment in the Mariana Islands using metabarcoding and environmental DNA techniques, while the University of Hawaii at Manoa (awarded December 25, 2022) develops a reference library of Hawaiian arthropods for the project. Colorado State University (awarded February 11, 2022) provides field collection support and arthropod sample preparation on military lands in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, and Iowa State University (awarded March 15, 2022) supports field collections in the Mariana Islands with data analysis and workshop leadership. This multi-institutional approach leverages specialized expertise in arthropod taxonomy, metabarcoding, environmental DNA analysis, and military installation management to establish comprehensive baseline inventories and reference collections that will enable improved biosecurity measures protecting DoD facilities and operational capabilities.
