Cooperative Sagebrush Initiative is a region-wide program that works to recover the western sagebrush steppe biome through a collaborative, coordinative, and cost-effective public-private partnership.

Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition is a community-based partnership to maintain and restore healthy Great Basin ecosystems.

Ecologically Based Invasive Plant Management (EBIPM), also known as the "Area Wide Project", is an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) project that combines state and transition models and successional management as a framework to make the best management decisions for a given landscape based on ecological principles.

Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit provides research, technical assistance and education to federal land management, environmental and research agencies and their potential partners.

Great Basin Ecology Laboratory conducts research using a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to increase understanding of Great Basin ecosystems and to develop approaches for maintaining and restoring their integrity. It is part of the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station.

Great Basin Environmental Program is an environmental management initiative that will establish partnerships and integrate efforts for environmental change with federal agencies, state agencies, NGOs and the private sector to address critical ecosystem issues.

Great Basin Information Project offers access to information about the Great Basin and the Columbia Plateau Regions. This project is conducted by the National Biological Information Infrastructure.

Great Basin map The Great Basin Research and Management Partnership (GBRMP) promotes comprehensive and complementary research and management collaborations to sustain ecosystems, resources and communities across the Great Basin, a five state area experiencing similar sociological and ecological concerns.
Great Basin Restoration Initiative logo The Great Basin Restoration Initiative is a Bureau of Land Management program that focuses on finding ways to protect and restore Great Basin rangelands that are threatened by non-native plant invasion and wildfire.

Integrating Weed Control & Restoration for Great Basin Rangelands is an interdisciplinary with a mission to identify concepts and management strategies to control cheatgrass and other weeds on Great Basin rangelands and restore native species and increase biodiversity. Many of the scientists who are involved in SageSTEP also participate in this project.

Neon, Inc. logo National Ecological Observatory Network, Inc. is a corporation created to manage large-scale ecological observing systems and experiments on behalf of the scientific community. NEON has partitioned the U.S. into 20 eco-climatic domains, and the candidate core site for the Great Basin Domain is the Onaqui-Benmore site, part of which is located at the SageSTEP Onaqui study site.

The Piñon-Juniper Webzone provides reference materials for piñon and juniper species in the Intermountain West including Texas. Access is provided to four popular publications, as well as an extensive reference list and photo gallery.

SAGEMAP is a GIS database for Sage Grouse and shrubsteppe management in the Intermountain West. This project is conducted by the Snake River Field Station (SRFS) of the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center.

Available through SAGEMAP: Ecology and Conservation of Greater Sage-Grouse: A Landscape Species and Its Habitats. Thirty-eight federal, state, university, and nongovernmental experts have collaborated to produce new scientific information about Greater Sage-Grouse populations, sagebrush habitats, and relationships among sage-grouse, sagebrush habitats, and land use.

Sage-Grouse Resoraton Project is a cooperative effort to document the effects of 2002 Farm Bill conservation practices in restoring sagebrush steppe ecosystems to benefit sage-grouse and other sagebrush obligates. The project is conducted by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Utah State University Extension.

The Sagebrush Landscape Project conducts research on habitats for species of conservation concern in the sagebrush ecosystem. This project is conducted by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station.

Society for Range Management is the professional society dedicated to supporting persons who work with rangelands and have a commitment to their sustainable use.
