This federal Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), provides $348,798 to 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 key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) evaluate current regulations, education, and inspection programs for AIS...
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 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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Project Grant award under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species (CFDA 15.608) program will provide $124,092 to the Montana Fish, Wildlife, & Parks Division to enhance the state's ability to protect its waters by preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Specific activities to be performed include: 1) maintaining AIS lab operations through supplies, materials, workspace and expanded seasonal technician work; 2)...
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, with a total funding of $600,002.40, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The purpose of the award is to contribute to ongoing USGS research on monitoring and detecting aquatic invasive plants in the Upper Mississippi River Basin by refining protocols for environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring using the Minion device. The key products and services to be delivered...
This $224,845.80 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a project titled "Next Generation AIS Monitoring: Comparing the Speed, Sensitivity, Specificity, Cost, and Throughput of Multiple eDNA Detection Methods". The goal is to develop guidelines to help aquatic invasive species (AIS) managers choose the best environmental DNA (eDNA) testing methods to rapidly and reliably monitor for...
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 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $689,092 to Oklahoma State University from January 2025 through January 2028.
