Cooperative Research Units

The Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit is one of 40 Cooperative Research Units across 38 states, established by Federal law in 1935. Comprised of USGS scientists with UAF faculty appointments, the Unit focuses on graduate student training, technical assistance to cooperating agencies, integrated studies of fish and wildlife at the ecosystem level, and research directed at resource management problems.

Operating under cooperative agreements with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Wildlife Management Institute, the Unit receives research funding through federal agencies via the USGS to UAF Research Work Order mechanism, as well as base funding from ADFG for fisheries and wildlife projects, and state funds through the UAF reimbursable Services Agreement process.
