Who can apply
This opportunity was open to the applicants described in the notice.
- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
This opportunity is restricted to non-federal partners of Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU).
Is this a realistic fit?
- Past Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering awards averaged $1.1 million; this notice allows up to $180,000 per award.
- Most of the program's money (69% over five years) went to colleges and universities.

What the grant funds
Brief Description of Anticipated Work: The objective of the proposed effort for the Base option is to: Objective 1: Conduct the new Genotyping in Thousands by Sequencing (GT-Seq, Campbell et al. 2015) analysis on up to 1,000 lower Missouri River samples annually during the 4-year study period (FY 2022-2025), which will contribute to the development of new genetic markers. The objectives of the proposed effort for the 4 option years include using the previously established genetic markers on up to 15,000 samples annually (FY 2023-2026) to: Objective 1: Screen Missouri River pallid sturgeon broodstock to ensure genetic purity for the pallid sturgeon propagation and population augmentation project. Objective 2: Efficiently identify pallid from shovelnose and hybrid sturgeon based on genetic samples provided. Objective 3: Research and develop a spawning relatedness matrix to help hatcheries avoid crosses between related individuals utilizing results from Objective 1 and genotypes of males from the cryopreserved repository. Objective 4: Use genetic identification to assess natural reproduction of pallid sturgeon in the LMOR. The work associated with the Base option for this project includes: 1) Use the GT-Seq genotype analysis (Campbell et al. 2015) and ddRAD sequences to develop new and more powerful markers for the identification of pallid sturgeon, shovelnose sturgeon and hybrids. Once the markers are developed, use a variety of analytical approaches, such as Discriminate Analysis using Principle Components (DAPC, Jombart et al. 2010), STRUCTURE (Pritchard et al. 2000), and NewHybrids (Anderson and Thompson 2002) to provide better resolution of the species status of each individual and identify more reliable criteria for identifying pure pallid sturgeon. The successful applicant will have the genetic baselines to reliably verify purity of pallid sturgeon based on genetic analysis and have access to the equipment necessary to conduct the new GT-Seq genotype analysis. The work associated with the 4 option years for this project includes: 1) Use the previously established genetic techniques, including Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) and microsatellite markers, to identify juvenile pallid sturgeon from shovelnose sturgeon and hybrids in samples collected from the Central Lowlands and Interior Highlands Management Units.
