## Who can apply

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program. CESU"s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Hawaii-Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.

## What the grant funds

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in a novel biosurveillance approach based on modeling first records of non-native species. Quickly locating new populations of non-native species can reduce the ecological and economic costs of species invasions. The development of an Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) strategy requires real-world testing and integration with rapid assessment and response. This project will implement EDRR to test whether models of first records can successfully be used to guide biosurveillance.
