Representatives and administrators of the Rocky Mountains – Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit will hold a virtual meeting with Boise State faculty to discuss funding and partnership opportunities available through their organization. Those interested in attending should complete the registration form.
The meeting will take place from 2-3:30 p.m. on Nov. 18
The studies unit is one of 17 that facilitate partnerships between federal agencies and university faculty and/or students working on “natural and cultural heritage resource issues at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context.” In practice, studies units provide a funding mechanism by which faculty and/or students collaborate with federal agencies to design and deliver research projects that meet agency needs. Federal agencies that partner with the Rocky Mountains studies unit include the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, the USDA Forest Service, and more.
