OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Southern Appalachian CESU
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.  CESU&#191;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.  Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.
Description: The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research determining relative vulnerability across a suite of taxa and scales using multiple methods. To aid decisions about the conservation and management of natural resources, decision makers need access to accurate and timely information on the nation&#191;s biodiversity resources. One aspect to that decision making is understanding traits of species and how those traits affect their risk to particular threats. Through this research we aim to provide scientific knowledge about species traits, vulnerability, and risks that aid in decision analysis for conservation and land use planning.
