This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), supports the development of spatial modeling tools to understand changes in sagebrush vegetation dynamics across the western U.S. over time and space. The $250,000 award to Colorado State University will leverage statistical analyses, connectivity models, and GIS tools to: Evaluate the drivers and ecological conditions associated with invasions of annual...
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has awarded a $249,360 Cooperative Agreement under the Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247) to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct research on factors influencing greater sage-grouse movement, habitat use, and population growth in the Bighorn Basin region of Montana and Wyoming. The project aims to: 1) identify anthropogenic activities and structures that inhibit or promote sage-grouse movement within and among seasonal habitats, 2)...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247) provides $260,000 to The Nature Conservancy to support wildlife habitat conservation and ecological restoration activities in Utah. The key products and services to be delivered include: Updating vegetation mapping and modeling for the Hamlin Valley and Bald Hills areas to assess the effectiveness of BLM's land management...
This $225,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under the CFDA 15.808 Research and Data Collection program, will support Colorado State University (CSU) in developing a suite of wildlife analysis models to assess species responses to changes in vegetation, disturbances from energy development and fires, disease, climate change, and other factors within grassland, shrubland, and alpine ecosystems. The research will focus on ungulate responses to chronic wasting...
This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Adaptive Science program (CFDA 15.670) provides $304,979 to the University of Montana to develop and test methodologies to improve satellite-based monitoring of invasive annual grasses across the sagebrush biome. The primary objective is to research and co-develop next-generation remote sensing models and products to identify and evaluate invasive annual grass management. This will allow practitioners to better...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has awarded a $211,399 Cooperative Agreement to Oregon State University (OSU) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The project, titled "Climate-Smart Vegetation Treatments: Leveraging 15 Years of SageSTEP Climate, Soil Moisture, and Vegetation Data to Inform Management of Resilient Ecosystems", aims to analyze 15 years of SageSTEP network data to determine the efficacy of woody plant thinning treatments in mitigating...
This $717,512 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.631 - Partners for Fish and Wildlife) supports the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) in delivering a range of wildlife conservation and habitat restoration services. Key project activities include: Protecting sagebrush habitats from invasive annual grasses and wildfires, removing encroaching conifers to benefit migratory birds and other native wildlife, and restoring and...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $318,750 Cooperative Agreement under the Candidate Species Conservation program (CFDA 15.660) to The Evergreen State College for the Sagebrush Steppe Plant Materials Project.
