Ecology
of Infectious Diseases - 08-601
Grants.gov.
The Ecology of Infectious Diseases program solicitation supports the development
of predictive models and the discovery of principles governing the transmission
dynamics of infectious disease agents. To that end, research proposals should
focus on understanding the ecological and socio-ecological determinants of transmission
by vectors or abiotic agents, the population dynamics of reservoir species, the
transmission to humans or other hosts, or the cultural, social, behavioral, and
economic dimensions of disease communication. Research may be on zoonotic, vector-borne
or enteric diseases of either terrestrial, freshwater, or marine systems and
organisms, including diseases of non-human animals and plants, at any scale from
specific pathogens to inclusive environmental systems. Proposals for research
on disease systems of public health concern to developing countries are strongly
encouraged. Investigators are encouraged to include links to the public health
research community, including for example, participation of epidemiologists,
physicians, veterinarians, medical social scientists, medical entomologists,
virologists, or parasitologists.
Closing date for applications is Dec 10, 2008.

Riparian
and Upland Restoration on Cibola NWR - CNWR-2008-02
Grants.gov.
Invasive species pose a serious threat to the health
and integrity of natural communities on Cibola National
Wildlife Refuge. An integral part of the invasive species
program is the use of hand crews. Hand crews can work
in areas where it is not possible or practical to use
heavy equipment or aerial spraying. Hand crews can be
used to re-treat and maintain restoration sites, to treat
new infestations, to work in fragile habitat, and to
reach areas not readily accessible to heavy equipment
or aircraft. SWCC crews provide an effective economical
means to meet this need and they benefit by gaining valuable
work experience. Project and Purpose - The principal
purpose of this agreement is to restore native habitat
within the historic floodplain of the Lower Colorado
River. All restoration efforts will occur on Cibola National
Wildlife Refuge.
Closing date for applications is Sep 12, 2008.

and Development, through the Northwest Weed Management Partnership (NWMP) provides
an efficient and effective means to encourage local cooperators to discuss
weed management issues and arrive at successful solutions through the recently
established Cooperative Weed Management Areas and a variety of species Working
Groups. The designation of Cooperative Weed Management Areas by a diverse group
of individuals and agencies addresses a number of weed management issues from

Noxious & Invasive
Plant Control in Sheridan County, Wyoming - RFA-WY08-9015 (open
Jun 20, 2008)
Grants.gov.
Project Background Information: Leafy spurge has inhabited portions of Sheridan
County for an estimated 50 years and is listed on the Noxious Weed list for the
State of Wyoming. Infested lands include the public lands managed by the Bureau
of Land Management. Project Objective: It is the goal of the BLM to reduce leafy
spurge populations to an acceptable level. Total eradication is not feasible
due to the survival characteristics of the plant, expense, topography, and the
diversity of habitats that this plant occupies. Numerous large draws and their
side drainages that flow into the Powder River contain leafy spurge. The objective
is to reduce populations of leafy spurge so native perennial plants are able
to outcompete this invasive species in the local plant communities.
Closing date for applications is Jul 31, 2008.

Avian
Influenza Surveillance in the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways
- AFMFAI09 (open Jul 3, 2008)

and is guided by an Interagency Steering Committee and has been stepped down
regionally through the migratory bird Flyway Councils for implementation. Under
each Flyway Plan, each state has responsibilities for procuring samples of
various migratory birds for HPAI detection. Funding for this effort comes from
both USFWS and USDA-WS. This announcement is for the USFWS component of this
surveillance effort for funding available for surveillance projects in the
Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways. Each award under this announcement will be
for a period of one (1) year.
