Fiscal Year 2021 Example 1: Cooperative agreement with Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) to provide increased capabilities with the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). KBO will cooperate with DoD to identify best research and monitoring designs, and set up appropriate projects and protocols. KBO will also assist with coordination and cost sharing activities involving other Federal agency partners, and designing and using best practices in science delivery. Example 2: Cooperative agreement with North Carolina State University to form a technical advisory committee to identify an infestation of Aldrovanda, a genus of carnivorous plants. A report will be prepared documenting current status, invasion risks, and recommended follow-on work. This cooperative agreement will enhance military readiness by identifying risks posed by the Aldrovanda invasion and recommended best procedures for mitigating risks. Example 3: Cooperative agreement with Point Reyes Bird Observatory to provide increased capabilities with the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). It will provide DoD with the capability to upload, archive, access, and use avian monitoring data and use data visualization tools, and assist with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental reviews, and to assess impacts of DoD readiness activities on migratory birds for the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and Readiness Rule.
