The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a grant to a partner in the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The goal is to develop tools that make it easier and faster to review and approve new projects, especially those related to environmental permits. This involves creating a cloud-based portal to help manage environmental reviews. The research will focus on finding the best ways to gather and use scientific data to support these reviews. The ultimate aim is to provide reliable science that helps manage natural resources effectively.
Who it's for: This grant is for a partner in the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) with expertise in ecosystem research and environmental science. The applicant should have the ability to conduct research that identifies key information sources and solves access barriers to scientific data.
