Cooperative Research Units
The Cooperative Research Unit program was established in 1935 to enhance graduate education in fisheries and wildlife sciences and to facilitate research between natural resource agencies and universities on topics of mutual concern. Today, there are 40 Cooperative Research Units in 38 states. Each unit is a partnership among the U.S. Geological Survey, a State natural resource agency, a host university, and the Wildlife Management Institute.
Staffed by Federal personnel, Cooperative Research Units conduct research on renewable natural resource questions, participate in the education of graduate students, provide technical assistance and consultation on natural resource issues, and provide continuing education for natural resource professionals.
Showcase area for the work and achievements of organizations within our region who share a similar mission and are closely associated with the Appalachian LCC. This area offers an opportunity for Affiliate organizations to highlight their achievements to the broader conservation community.
Pages are automatically updated by integrating RSS Feeds into our Web Portal, ensuring new updates on an affiliates' websites will also replicate on their showcase page. Affiliates with less online visibility may also manually control these pages and populate with content to increase communications.
If interested in developing a Showcase Page for your organization, contact Matthew Cimitile.
