This $163,685 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants supports aquatic invasive species research through Purdue University under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805). The award period is from March 2021 through March 2023. Purdue will use the funding to conduct a competitive grants program for aquatic invasive species research in Indiana. Additionally, Purdue will collaborate with Ball State...
This $261,500 federal Project Grant was awarded on April 25, 2025 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The grant supports a 2-year project by Montana State University to develop and test machine-learning models that predict the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. Key project activities include: Integrating remote sensing data and species occurrence data to improve...
This Project Grant award of $348,798, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act Program (CFDA 15.805), will support a project by South Dakota State University (SDSU) to assess preventative actions and barriers for minimizing aquatic invasive species (AIS) pathways in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The project aims to evaluate current regulations, education, and inspection programs for AIS pathways, rank the relative importance of each pathway, and...
This $261,984 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a study on the behaviors of trout anglers related to the spread of aquatic invasive species in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The primary recipient, the University of Wisconsin System, will survey anglers in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to establish baseline data on their understanding, attitudes, beliefs, risks, and behaviors...
This Project Grant award of $689,092, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), supports research aimed at developing an integrated remote sensing and environmental DNA (eDNA) approach for early detection and management of aquatic invasive plant species in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine how plant biomass and phenology affect eDNA detection probabilities through...
This Project Grant award of $557,072.00 from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports research to investigate the effects of hydrodynamic forces on invasive zebra mussel populations. The funded project, titled "Go With the Flow: Hydrodynamic Resilience to Invasive Mussels", will conduct laboratory, field, and computational studies to quantify relationships between water current, wave action,...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $558,345.00 to Purdue University to investigate the distribution, fate, and impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Lake Michigan ecosystem. The project will assess PFAS accumulation in tissues of various fish species through lab experiments and field sampling, as well as measure biochemical and transcriptomic...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $545,863.60 three-year Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program. The grant will fund research to develop machine learning and statistical models leveraging waterbody invasion histories and characteristic datasets in Minnesota. This will enable identification of factors influencing aquatic invasive species invasion risk and categorization of...
This Project Grant award of $600,002.40 from the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Water Resources Research Act Program (CFDA 15.805) will fund research to optimize environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring protocols for detecting aquatic invasive plants in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Minnesota, will perform field collections, occupancy modeling, and protocol refinement to improve early and rapid detection of aquatic invasive species using the...
The University of Missouri System was awarded a $208,236 Project Grant under the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to evaluate the use of side-scan sonar technology combined with N-mixture modeling for estimating the abundance of invasive silver carp in the Upper Mississippi Basin. The project aims to compare the cost and performance of this sonar-based approach against traditional capture methods used by USGS and other...
