About this opportunity
The US Geological Survey is offering a cooperative agreement through the Research and Data Collection program under CFDA #15.808 to partners affiliated with the Alaska Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. This funding opportunity will support research using omics analyses and field/laboratory studies to evaluate interactions among seabird microbiota, pathogens, and environmental stressors in Alaskan seabirds. Key objectives include understanding disease dynamics in culturally significant seabird populations and migratory species. Proposals are due March 12, 2024 and will be evaluated based on alignment with research priorities in wildlife regularly interacting with humans or spreading emerging pathogens.
The agreement will fund studies of zoonotic/wildlife pathogens in seabird microbiota from multiple domains and comparative research on environmental impacts to seabird physiology, immunity, and health. Expected places of performance include field sites studying thick-billed murres in the Bering Strait region and laboratory facilities conducting omics analyses and experimental disease/stress research.
Synopsis
The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in understanding interactions between zoonotic and wildlife pathogens, microbiome, and environmental stressors in Alaska (AK) seabirds, which will: 1) use shotgun metatranscriptomic and other omics analyses to evaluate the interactions among all members of seabird microbiota from multiple domains (prokaryotes, eukaryotes, viruses) with zoonotic/wildlife pathogens, and 2) conduct field-based and laboratory comparative studies addressing effects of environmental factors on seabird physiology, immune system, and health.
