Assessing the Ecological Adverse Effects of Coal Ash
Researchers will assess the impacts of coal ash repositories on freshwater wetlands and health risks to aquatic animals that live there. This is one of our ‘First Award’ grants, designed to help early career researchers establish their own research programs.
Improving Seizure Monitoring and Diagnostics for California Sea Lions
In this pilot study, researchers will attempt to improve seizure monitoring in California sea lions affected by domoic acid, a harmful marine toxin, by building a mechanism to monitor brain electrical activity.
Studying Pollutant Exposure in White-Tailed Eagle
In this pilot study, researchers will study how pollutant exposure affects the health and well-being of white-tailed eagles.
Evaluating Toxin Risk to Egyptian Vultures
Researchers will investigate whether Egyptian vultures could be exposed to harmful toxins derived from veterinary products through consumption of livestock feces.
Evaluating Red Tide Treatment in Stranded Sea Turtles
Researchers will investigate a novel treatment for brevetoxicosis (a condition caused by ingesting harmful toxins produced by algae blooms) in stranded sea turtles.
Understanding the Impact of Lead Poisoning in Bald Eagles
