The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under the Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), awarded a $248,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Polistes Foundation, Inc. This 4-year award aims to enhance the delivery of pollinator research and identification capabilities in the United States through collaborative partnerships. Key outcomes will include: 1) identifying opportunities to enhance pollinator science and training through interagency collaborations, 2) establishing partnerships with state, federal, and tribal entities to participate in pollinator research and education, 3) supporting hands-on research and training of new pollinator scientists through the USGS Cooperative Research Unit program, and 4) developing recommendations to improve infrastructure and programs to accommodate new partners and joint research/educational capacities. The Polistes Foundation will provide staffing support to coordinate with USGS Cooperative Research Unit and Eastern Ecological Science Center leadership throughout the project.
