This $181,522 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey will support research on chronic wasting disease diagnostics and transmission dynamics in mule deer in Wyoming. Funded activities under the award include field sampling of mule deer to optimize non-lethal chronic wasting disease testing methods. Global positioning system collar data will also be analyzed to examine mule deer movement patterns, habitat use, and landscape factors related to disease prevalence in the region....
This $386,050 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.664 - Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) supports a project to predict climate change-induced habitat shifts for big game species in New Mexico. The key objectives are to: Estimate resource selection and population density of elk, mule deer, oryx, and pronghorn in representative ecoregions of New Mexico by fitting animals with GPS collars and deploying...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, with a funding amount of $141,509.43, was granted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program. The award supports a research project at New Mexico State University (NMSU) to evaluate pronghorn movements and habitat selection in the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico. The key activities and deliverables include: Monitoring pronghorn movements using GPS collars and mapping anthropogenic features...
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 Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to study how seasonal and environmental shifts in plant odors influence mule deer migratory behavior in Wyoming. The research aims to determine if changes in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants provide cues that inform mule deer movements and help the species track shifts in food quality during migrations. The...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award of $365,846, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program, will support research to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) transmission in deer populations. The University of Wisconsin-Madison will conduct this 5-year project, which aims to address key knowledge gaps around CWD, including prion detection and variation, environmental transmission,...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $171,522.63 to the University of Montana to conduct research on species range shifts, protected areas, and climate connectivity. The project will: 1) Project potential climate-induced range shifts in woody plant taxa for national parks, national forests, and unprotected lands; 2) Evaluate climatic and non-climatic factors that may facilitate or impede...
This $250,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program, will fund a 5-year research project to assess drought vulnerability and landscape conditions in watersheds across the western United States. The key activities include: 1) identifying assessment components and indicators of drought resiliency for a pilot watershed in Oregon, 2) expanding and testing the assessment approach across three additional...
The Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey awarded $442,500 to the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission through its Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) to assess mineral licks and predation as alternative mechanisms to control chronic wasting disease in deer and elk populations in the western United States. Under the cooperative agreement awarded February 8, 2021 for a five-year period concluding February 7, 2026, the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission will conduct...
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management has awarded a $3,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to The Mule Deer Foundation, a nonprofit organization, under the Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247). The Cooperative Agreement supports a 5-year project to restore and enhance mule deer and other wildlife habitat across the United States. Key activities under this award include: conducting habitat risk and needs assessments to prioritize conservation projects; hiring...
