The University of Wisconsin-Madison will receive $605,960 from the US Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program to conduct a project titled "Do Freshwater Species Invasions Alter Ecosystem Responses to External Drivers." The funding will support research analyzing long-term limnological data and time series metagenomics from Lakes Mendota and Monona in Wisconsin, which were invaded by spiny water flea in 2009 and zebra...
This Project Grant award of $261,500 was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The award will fund a 2-year project at Montana State University (MSU) to develop and test machine learning models that integrate environmental data and species occurrence data to predict the spread of aquatic invasive species in the Upper Mississippi River System. Key project activities include: 1) Incorporating...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $348,798 to South Dakota State University (SDSU) from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027. The project examines social, ecological, and economic aspects of managing aquatic invasive species (AIS) in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, with a focus on evaluating current preventative actions and barriers to implementing them. Key activities...
The University of Missouri System, through its Curators of the University of Missouri, received a $434,280 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The grant, awarded on Jan 1, 2024, will support a 3-year research project to investigate the effects of turbulence on the swimming behavior of invasive carp larvae in large river systems. The proposed activities consist of laboratory experiments and modeling...
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...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a $531,636 federal Project Grant under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) to Central Michigan University to assess native mussel populations and habitat conditions in the lower reaches of tributaries to Lake Michigan. The 4-year project aims to 1) determine the status and threats to unionid mussels, 2) evaluate the predictive power of existing habitat models for identifying refuges, and 3) make management...
The US Geological Survey awarded Purdue University $574,425 under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805) for the period from January 27, 2023 through January 26, 2026. The project will assess three sources of data—watercraft inspections, fishing app data, and smartphone location information—to predict the presence, absence, and spread of aquatic invasive species throughout the Upper Mississippi River Basin. Specifically, the university...
This $600,000 two-year Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey, under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805), will fund research at the University of Illinois to develop methods for detecting invasive mollusk species in the Illinois River watershed using environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis. The grant aims to establish a cost-effective eDNA metabarcoding approach to reliably document both invasive and native mollusks across replicated...
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...
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.
