APLIC funds research projects that further the knowledge of avian/power line interactions, including causes and solutions to avian moralities due to power line electrocutions and collisions. Examples of applicable research topics include:
- assessment of electrocution and/or collision rates associated with distribution and/or transmission lines
- effectiveness of various retrofitting practices intended to reduce avian mortality or mitigate problem bird nests on utility structures
- risk assessments to identify factors contributing to electrocution and collision mortality risks for different species
- evaluation of impacts of power line construction on bird species
