Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0186
The grant opportunity titled "Post White-nose Syndrome Bat Community Survey and Maternity Roost Tree Utilization by Northern Long-eared Bats" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0186) is a National Park Service notice explaining its intent to make an award, not an open call for proposals. In other words, the announcement is meant to inform the public that the agency plans to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that has already been competed previously or otherwise supported by a single-source justification. Because of that structure, outside parties generally should not interpret this as a chance to submit new applications in response to the posting.
The work implied by the title focuses on environmental research and monitoring related to bat conservation after the impacts of White-nose Syndrome, a disease that has caused major population declines in several North American bat species. The project scope suggested by the title includes two connected components: surveying bat communities in a "post-White-nose Syndrome" context to understand current presence, abundance, and community composition, and examining how northern long-eared bats use maternity roost trees (trees used by reproductive females to raise pups). That kind of study typically supports park and regional wildlife management by improving knowledge of habitat needs, identifying important roosting features and forest conditions, and guiding decisions that reduce disturbance or protect key roost areas.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, under the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.945. The posting indicates that the National Park Service expects to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $45,684, meaning the maximum anticipated federal amount for the task agreement is up to that figure.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt). However, the practical takeaway is that eligibility is largely moot for new applicants because the notice is not soliciting applications; it is tied to a pre-existing master cooperative agreement mechanism. The original posting dates show a creation date of August 30, 2017 and an original closing date of September 9, 2017, which fits the pattern of a short public notice period rather than a full competitive application window.
Overall, the announcement serves as a transparency notice: the National Park Service is signaling its plan to fund a specific partner through an established cooperative agreement framework to carry out targeted bat community surveys and research on northern long-eared bat maternity roost tree use following White-nose Syndrome impacts, with one expected award up to $45,684.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0186
