USFWS R6 Science Applications Strategic Communications and Science Outreach CA

1. Communications and Science Outreach Plan 2. Co-developed multimedia product (e.g. ArcGIS story map) to communicate conservation successes of Science Applications and other partners of the W AFW A Sagebrush Science Initiative. Partners could include R6SA, R8SA, RI SA, and WAFWA. 3. Multimedia products and materials (e.g., brochures, newsletters, reports) to communicate the conservation science products of the R6 Science Applications program. 4. Products (e.g. Conservation Planning Atlas) that communicate the use and application of project information in the science catalog created by the FWS Data Management Work Group. Future project additions could include all of R6 FWS products.

This is a single source opportunity intended for the Institute of Ecosystems at Montana State University. This project enacts a cooperative agreement between the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and Montana State University (MSU). This task agreement is enacted in order for the R6 Science Applications Program and MSU to collaborate on developing strategies and products that facilitate information transfer and improve the understanding and application of science­ based information for natural resource and land managers through the Science Applications Program in USFWS Region 6.
