MILES, Managing Idaho Landscapes for Ecosystem Services, is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Infrastructure Improvement award managed by Idaho EPSCoR. The $20M award for years 2013-2018 is shared by Boise State University, Idaho State University and University of Idaho. The primary goals of the MILES project are to advance social-ecological-systems (SES) science within Idaho, while building capacity, sustainable infrastructure, trans-disciplinary research collaborations, educating a dynamic workforce, and developing partnerships with stakeholders.
