Modeling the effects of altered salmon phenologies on the landscape-level foraging: The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7 intends to award a single source financial assistance agreement as authorized by 505 DM 2.14 (B) to Oregon State University. This notice is not a request for proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals.

This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies
Unit (CESU) Network: (http://www.cesu.psu.edu/materials/partners.htm). The CESU network provides research, technical assistance, and education to federal land management, environmental, and research agencies and their partners. The partners serve the biological, physical, social, cultural, and engineering disciplines needed to address natural and cultural resource management issues at multiple scales and in an ecosystem context.
The purpose of this program is to provide support and assistance to Oregon State University through a Post-Doctoral Research position to populate, refine, and enhance a simulation model Dr. Jonathon Armstrong has developed to evaluate how salmon management policies affect bears under different scenarios of climate change and human activity. This project builds upon pioneering collaborative research during 2012-2015 with Dr. Armstrong, Will Deacy, and William Leacock at Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge that has emphasized how the iconic bear populations of Kodiak and greater coastal Alaska require salmon runs that are abundant and spread across time in an unfragmented landscape.
