Key Education, Research, and Technical Assistance Needs

·         Strong base of minority recruits with training in areas of FWS jurisdiction/ concern (freshwater/anadromous fish, GIS applications, migratory bird ecology, habitat and watershed ecology, wetland/riparian management, land management techniques, public/private partnerships, fish health/genetics/ physiology, conservation law)

·         Strong collaboration in the selection and design of research/educational projects

·         Access to an array of research capabilities with reasonable overhead rates

·         Cooperation in the development and distribution of conservation outreach materials (consistent with first two bulleted points)

·         Technical assistance to enable FWS personnel to know what capabilities are available and how to access them -- i.e., no specific focus of assistance, but helping FWS know who knows (via the Web, phone, print, etc.) and building an expectation among CESU partners that they will be asked (any variety of things) and will be willing to take the time to respond
