DOI-USGS1 grant application closes on June 17

The DOI Geological Survey is offering a grant open from May 18 to June 17.

The grant could provide up to $495,000.

The US Geological Survey, Eastern Ecological Science Center (EESC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in developing deep convolutional neural networks for image-based individual fish recognition, develop baseline Artificial Intelligence (hereafter, AI) models for individual recognition, and determining the performance of AI models. Research Scientists at the EESC have a wealth of knowledge specific to ongoing studies that are using AI to identify fish in freshwater streams and develop early detection of diseased fish. This research will advance our understanding by linking developing methods in computer science with ecological science.
