OpportunityTitle: Genetic analysis of impacts of watershed-scale barriers on Brook Trout
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: The United States Department of the Interior, The National Park Service (NPS), and Great Smoky Mountain National Park are announcing a notice of intent to award; this is not a request for applications. This funding opportunity is to provide public notice of NPS&apos;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition, under Cooperative Agreement P11AC30805 with the Pennsylvania State University, a partner under the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, for a project titled; Genetic analysis of impacts of watershed-scale barriers on metapopulation dynamics of Brook Trout.
Description: The overall project objective is to support NPS efforts to implement genetic monitoring protocols to restore healthy fish populations dynamics at larger scales, such as watershed and regional levels. These studies will provide critical knowledge on how Brook Trout populations interact, disperse, migrate, and maintain genetic diversity, resulting in management practices that are transferable to other species and parks.
