## What the grant funds

The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for developing research to build and test an indicator of species vulnerability to climate change that can be applied consistently across multiple species across the United States. Developing a species vulnerability indicator will help to identify the functional, taxonomic, and geographic dimensions of biodiversity critical for determining species’ vulnerability to climate change and will help to inform effective management responses. This funding opportunity will test and validate climate change vulnerability indicators, and compare to previous vulnerability assessments.
