This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management under the Good Neighbor Authority (CFDA 15.015) program, will fund research to study the movements and habitat use of LeConte's and Bendire's thrashers in Arizona. The $250,000 award, spanning September 2024 to September 2027, aims to address information needs identified in the draft Desert Thrasher Conservation Strategy, which recognizes solar development as a moderate to high threat to...
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded a $198,880.46 Cooperative Agreement to the Great Basin Bird Observatory, a non-profit organization, under the Department of the Interior's Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247). The funding supports the integration of wildlife occurrence data, specifically land bird data, into BLM's Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) program across 125-150 sites in the Great Basin region. Key objectives include: Collecting land bird occurrence...
This $148,898 cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Great Basin Bird Observatory will support applied ecology research and data collection relevant to greater sage-grouse and sagebrush ecosystems in Nevada and California through February 2027. As part of the U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), the Observatory will hire and train field technicians to gather field data on sage-grouse demographic rates, spatial distribution,...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) is intended to study the effects of mineral development on greater sage-grouse populations at two study areas in central Nevada. The $150,000 award to the Great Basin Bird Observatory, a non-profit research organization, will fund the capture and tracking of 20-30 female sage-grouse at each site using radio and GPS transmitters. This data will be used to...
This $185,346 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program will evaluate the effectiveness of climate-adaptive forest management strategies in sustaining habitat for priority bird species and maximizing carbon storage in Northeastern forests. The key activities include: Field-based assessments of forest-dependent bird responses to climate-adaptive silviculture practices on lands managed...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Threatened and Endangered Species Program (CFDA 15.246) will fund the second project year of a study to refine understanding of habitat use by two declining bird species - the greater sage-grouse and pinyon jay - in Wyoming's Bighorn Basin. The $152,825 award to the Buffalo Bill Memorial Association (doing business as the Buffalo Bill Museum) will support activities to expand...
This $144,768 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247) provides funding to the Institute for Bird Populations to conduct avian research and monitoring in the Richfield Field Office of Utah. The purpose is to document the presence and seasonal trends of pinyon jay and other pinyon-juniper-sagebrush ecosystem bird species across areas that have undergone pinyon-juniper removal...
This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the CFDA 15.247 Wildlife Resource Management program provides $109,464.49 to New Mexico State University to conduct research on the effects of energy development and forest management on birds of greatest conservation need in southwestern New Mexico. The key research activities include: 1) investigating territory occupancy and nest survival of arid land birds, especially Bendire's...
This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the CFDA 15.608 Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species program will support a $240,089.17 research project conducted by the American Bird Conservancy. The project aims to investigate the responses of young forest bird species, including the threatened Golden-winged Warbler and Eastern Whip-poor-will, to experimental silvicultural treatments designed to improve northern hardwood forest regeneration....
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...
