Grant Description

The AIM Strategy is intended to reach across programs, jurisdictions, stakeholders, and agencies to provide data and information valuable to decision makers. The strategy focuses on 10 management questions important to land managers at varying levels of the Bureau, from field office to national levels. Answering each of the management questions requires a multiscale, coordinated, and integrated approach for new data collection while recognizing the value of many current monitoring activities. This approach will provide: (1) an opportunity to collect monitoring data that can be used many times for many purposes and (2) the quantitative data essential for informed, defendable land management decision making, (3) work with organizations that provide experience for entry level field positions within natural resource management agencies.
