The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $443,794 Project Grant from the US Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805). The grant will support research analyzing sediment transport and legacy phosphorus mobilization across spatial and temporal scales in agricultural watersheds located in Minnesota. Specifically, the university researchers will assemble and collect hydrologic and water quality data across...
This Project Grant award of $600,002.40 from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) 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 key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Refined sampling protocols and standard operating procedures for using the Minion device to monitor aquatic invasive...
This Project Grant award of $224,845.80, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805), aims to develop guidelines to help aquatic invasive species (AIS) managers choose the best environmental DNA (eDNA) methods for rapidly, reliably, and cost-effectively monitoring their species of interest. The key project activities include establishing standard reference materials, collecting water samples from areas with and without AIS...
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.
