An Introduction and Progress Report

An Extraordinary Time growing demand for scientific expertise significant organizational change new need for partnerships limited resources for science opportunities for innovation

Agencies Have Similar Goals high-quality science usable knowledge for resource managers cost-effective research programs responsive technical assistance continuing education and training

Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Concept innovation in delivery of research, technical assistance, and education evolution of successful strategies complement to existing research programs expansion of science-based management in federal agencies opportunity for participating universities

What are CESUs? government/university partnerships based on university campuses, organized into a national network cooperative, involving several agencies and multiple universities ecosystem studies include biological, physical, social and cultural sciences provide research, technical assistance, and education for natural and cultural resource managers

Participating Agencies US Fish & Wildlife Service US Geological Survey Bureau of Land Management Bureau of Reclamation National Park Service Agricultural Research Service USDA Forest Service Natural Resources Conservation Service National Marine Fisheries Service Department of Defense Department of Energy Environmental Protection Agency National Aeronautics & Space Administration other agencies to be added in the future

Key Elements of Each CESU host university partner institutions (at least 1 minority institution) multiple federal agencies role and mission statement managers committee strategic plan and annual work plans

Basic Strategy for CESUs each CESU competitively established under a single cooperative agreement universities provide space, faculty expertise, students and educational services agencies provide scientists, project funds individual scientists supervised by their participating agency oversight of support, project funds by participating agency agencies and universities collaborate on projects Network led by national CESU Council

Benefits to Agencies broadened scope of scientific services multidisciplinary problem-solving at several ecological scales increased collaboration among federal agencies, universities and scientists increased research, technical assistance and education for resource managers

Benefits to Agencies (continued) increased diversity of scientists, disciplines and institutions professional development opportunities for agency scientists and employees improved collaboration between natural and cultural resource managers reduced costs through collaborative research, technical assistance and education expanded constituency for federal science

Benefits to Universities increased collaboration among faculty, students and agency scientists augmented faculty for teaching and graduate student supervision increased opportunity for multi-agency research projects and continuing education increased opportunity for faculty to provide technical assistance to agencies

Benefits to Universities (continued) increased opportunities for graduate student research, participation in federal projects, internships and employment consistent and comprehensive cooperative agreements that maximize opportunities for federally- sponsored research increased role in establishing research agendas of participating agencies

Building the CESU Network CESU Council created by Interagency MOU to manage Network and establish national policy CESUs created through rounds of formal competition Cooperative/Joint Venture Agreements for 5 years Agreements renewed based on mutual consent, self- assessment, and independent review Currently renewing the second round of CESUs (established in 2000)

Current Participation 17 CESUs 13 Federal Agencies over 180 universities (including 42 minority institutions) 35 state, tribal and non-governmental partners since 1999, approximately 2,000 projects involving over $90 million several agencies have duty-stationed employees at CESU host universities

Examples of CESU Projects restoring Ponderosa Pine ecosystems (BLM) conducting surveys of Colorado River neotropical migrant birds (USGS) analyzing visitor use and related issues on the Upper Missouri River Corridor (BLM) predicting avifaunal distributions in response to climate change in Pisgah-Nantahala NFs (USDA FS) mapping and characterizing aquatic refugia in Everglades NP and Loxahatchee NWR (NPS, USGS, USFWS)

Developing the CESU Network CESU Council meets regularly CESU website at Annual Report distributed CESU Network Strategic Plan distributed Administrative Guide being prepared biennial CESU National Network Meeting first-round CESUs renewed; second round under renewal full national coverage expertise at CESUs expanding through additions

The Future of CESUs 21st century resource management requires skillful public service supported by sound science CESUs are an innovation and opportunity to deliver science to agencies building the CESU Network is a collaborative challenge
