Grant Description

The US Geological Survey, Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NOROCK), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to explore long-term monitoring on federal lands for assessing resource condition (status) and documenting declines in condition over time as related to management actions and climate change. To that end, the Center is interested in exploring statistical methods for sampling design development and recommendations on statistical methods for estimating status and trends in a robust and statistically sound manner. The Center envisions a need for routine data analysis and visualization of probabilistically sampled data. NOROCK conducts research in support of natural resources management in the mountains and plains of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Idaho. The Center produces and disseminates scientific information needed for decision-making in collaboration with Federal and State land management agencies, Native American tribes, academic institutions and organizations.
