About the Idaho Unit

The Idaho Unit is led by Dr. Courtney Conway, who oversees Unit operations. Dr. Christine Moffitt and Dr. Michael Quist are the Assistant Unit Leaders, and Candy Ihm provides administrative support for Unit activities.
Drs. Conway, Quist, and Moffitt serve as faculty members at the University of Idaho, teach graduate-level courses, serve as advisors for graduate students, and conduct research to support management of fish and wildlife populations. Research projects support graduate students and post docs and address a variety of topics, ranging from developing strategies to improve survival and recruitment of steelhead kelts from Snake River stocks to the effects of northern pike and smallmouth bass on adfluvial cutthroat trout in Lake Coeur d'Alene. Unit research is supported by contracts from Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the USGS/Biological Resources Division, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service, Bonneville Power Administration, and other federal, state, and private organizations.
