The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in working with DOI management agencies whose trust resources are impacted or at risk from chronic wasting disease (CWD) and other wildlife diseases to 1) frame their decision problems as a way of helping management agencies navigate difficult tradeoffs and improve decision-making under uncertainty, and 2) to provide a generalizable framework for CWD and other wildlife disease decisions that may be applicable in other management jurisdictions as well.
