About this grant

The USGS is offering a single cooperative agreement to a participating partner of the Hawaiʻi-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) for research to characterize stable isotopes in mosquitoes collected in and around Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge. Hakalau provides habitat for the most intact community of native Hawaiian birds remaining in Hawaiʻi, at least partly because disease-carrying Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are absent from the higher-elevation portions of the refuge. The research supports understanding of mosquito ecology and disease risk relevant to protecting that bird habitat. The opportunity is issued under the CESU Program, which establishes partnerships providing research, technical assistance, and education. The listed Assistance Listing is 15.808, U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection. Expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding of about $49,994.
