Great Lakes Science Center Research on Bioherbicides for Invasive Plants is a cooperative agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that funds research on the development of environmentally friendly bioherbicides and strategies to control invasive Phragmites australis and other invasive plant species. The project explores the role of microbial endophytes in enhancing the growth and stress tolerance of invasive Phragmites and uses that information to develop low-toxicity bioherbicide treatments offering resource managers more options. Funding ranges from 1 dollar to 498,392 dollars, with a deadline of May 22, 2026. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, universities, and state and local governments. The research builds on prior USGS investments that have already produced promising technologies supported by patent applications and commercial licenses, with additional field testing and development work still needed.
The EDMAP Program is a grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that funds the training of the next generation of geologic mappers through the Educational Component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP). The program provides cooperative agreements for graduate and upper-level undergraduate student projects creating geologic maps characterizing the solid Earth and its constituents, using field, geophysical, borehole, and remote sensing data. As of 2024, EDMAP has funded more than 1,501 students from over 177 universities. Awards are up to $45,000 per graduate student per year and up to $25,000 per undergraduate student per year. Eligible applicants are faculty and adjunct faculty at accredited U.S. colleges and universities. The deadline for the current cycle is May 26, 2026.
