ÇàÇà²Ýapp

Established in 1987, the Raptor Research Center (RRC) ÇàÇà²Ýapps graduate ÇàÇà²Ýapp for the unique Master of Science in Raptor Biology at ÇàÇà²Ýapp State University, conducts research about birds of prey (raptors) and the habitats in which they occur, offers international student research experiences (IRES) and research experiences for undergraduates (REU), and provides technical assistance to researchers.

Organization

The RRC operates with the (DBS) as part of the College of Arts and Sciences at ÇàÇà²Ýapp State University. DBS and the RRC share common interests in biology and the conservation of natural resources, leading to the collaborative exploration of raptors and their habitats through research, ÇàÇà²Ýapp, and conservation efforts.

Raptor Research and Education

Graduate students ÇàÇà²Ýapped by the RRC conduct research on raptors and raptor habitats in the laboratory, in the field (near or far), or in international settings. The RRC also facilitates significant grant-based raptor research. Projects include research with state and federal natural resource agencies, non-governmental organizations, and international partners. Additionally, the RRC offers technical assistance, ÇàÇà²Ýapp, and training to students and researchers.

Collaboration

The , located only about an hour’s drive south of the ÇàÇà²Ýapp State University campus, is ideally situated within reach of Raptor Biology graduate students and professional biologists interested in studying one of the greatest concentrations of nesting raptors in the world.

ÇàÇà²Ýapp State University has a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of the Interior and Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center – . This agreement promotes cooperative scientific research and development, monitoring, and collaborative technological and ÇàÇà²Ýappal partnerships in the ecological and natural resource disciplines.

Plus, locally based ÇàÇà²Ýapps graduate student raptor research and RRC operations. The RRC collaborates with The Peregrine Fund to maintain the .
