This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $150,000 over 3 years to Washington State University to develop and validate environmental DNA (eDNA) assays for early detection of aquatic invasive species. The key activities and deliverables include: Identifying priority aquatic invasive species to target for assay development, in coordination with the funding agency and conservation partners. Designing and...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $200,000 Cooperative Agreement to Mississippi State University under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) to develop novel molecular tools for early detection and rapid response to invasive aquatic species. The funding will support a research team at Mississippi State University to develop, optimize, and validate environmental DNA (eDNA) PCR protocols for five invasive freshwater fish species. The researchers will publish the...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program will provide $186,488.68 to Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation to conduct fish community sampling and research in the Klamath River estuary over a 20-month period from May 2025 to December 2026. The key objectives of the project are to: Document the impacts of dam removal on fish communities in the Klamath River estuary. Compare traditional fish sampling methods with...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service will fund the implementation of the Department's Early Detection Rapid Response Networks Molecular Lab Network. Specifically, this $1,625,074 award will support one of three labs that will use environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies to monitor invasive species across the United States. The funding will allow Auburn University to hire two employees to manage the eDNA work and process up to 1,000...
This $418,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research to study the environmental factors that promote or inhibit the transport and degradation of environmental DNA (eDNA) in U.S. streams, especially those part of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The research team based at the University of Alabama will conduct eDNA spiraling experiments at NEON stream sites to determine how factors...
This $782,754 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to study the environmental factors influencing the fate and transport of environmental DNA (eDNA) in U.S. streams, particularly those within the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The project, titled "DISTANCE: Determining Instream Transport of eDNA Across NEON Sites at the Continental Scale," will leverage NEON...
This $748,856 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research study on using environmental DNA (eDNA) to measure biodiversity in U.S. streams, particularly those in the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The study, led by The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), aims to understand the environmental factors that influence the movement and degradation of eDNA in streams. Key...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, funded under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CFDA 15.648) program, supports a project to utilize environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to improve understanding of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) rearing patterns in the Sacramento River system. The $117,500 award to the CAL Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation, doing business as the HSU Foundation, will enable analysis of filtered water...
The U.S. Geological Survey awarded a $439,666 Project Grant under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to develop new environmental DNA (eDNA) tools for detecting aquatic invasive plants in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The 3-year project aims to optimize eDNA metabarcoding protocols and validate the use of the MinION device for rapid field-based monitoring of invasive aquatic plants. Key deliverables...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Exploration program (CFDA 11.011) provides $256,089.00 to Rockefeller University to advance marine environmental DNA (eDNA) technology for monitoring ocean life. The key objectives are to: 1) benchmark eDNA against traditional fish survey methods by incorporating eDNA sampling in an ongoing marine fish survey in New Jersey; and 2) develop graphic tools for...
