Opportunity Information: Apply for G15AC00308
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is set to fund a project titled "Aquatic Invertebrate Life History Strategies in the Colorado River and Tributaries." This initiative, aimed at enhancing understanding of aquatic life in highly regulated rivers, notably focuses on the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam. The primary recipient is Oregon State University (OSU), with Dr. David Lytle leading the team alongside Dr. Ted Kennedy from the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center.
The anticipated federal funding is $25,086, contributing to a total award of $125,431, which spans a performance period from October 1, 2015, to September 30, 2020. This cooperative agreement falls under CFDA #15.808 for research and data collection.
The research will involve collecting benthic aquatic invertebrate samples from the Colorado River and its tributaries, particularly in areas downstream from major dams. The samples will be processed to identify species, and life history models will be developed to link flow variability with insect recruitment strategies.
USGS will take a significant role in this project, managing sample collection and analysis, facilitating collaborations among scientists from various institutions, and assisting in data interpretation and publication efforts.
The decision to fund this project without open competition is supported by the unique qualifications of OSU and its faculty, particularly invertebrate life history and evolution research. Dr. Lytle is recognized for his groundbreaking work, making OSU particularly suitable for this research, which aims to highlight how aquatic invertebrates adapt to regulated river environments.Apply for G15AC00308
