Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, titled "Activities and habitat preferences of remnant populations of Myotis bats in Acadia National Park, Maine," is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement that serves strictly as a public notice of intent to make an award, not as an open call for applications. In other words, the NPS is signaling that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, and the announcement is meant to satisfy public transparency requirements rather than invite proposals from the general public.
The opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0045 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement. Cooperative Agreements are typically used when the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance, which fits research and field-based conservation work where agency staff may coordinate access, align methods with park management needs, or collaborate on data collection and interpretation.
The project focus is on studying the activities and habitat preferences of remnant populations of Myotis bats within Acadia National Park in Maine. While the notice itself does not list a detailed scope of work, the title indicates the effort is likely aimed at understanding where remaining Myotis bats persist, how they use the landscape (foraging, commuting, roosting), and which habitat features are most important to support them. This kind of information is commonly used to guide management decisions in national parks, such as protecting sensitive roost sites, prioritizing habitat conservation, shaping visitor-use practices in key areas, and improving long-term monitoring strategies.
The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $130,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $130,000, meaning the planned award amount is fixed at that level rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is a common vehicle for NPS research partnerships.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 16, 2014, and an archive date of June 17, 2014. Because it is a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation, these dates function more as the public notice window than an application deadline in the usual sense.
Eligibility is broadly labeled "Others," but the eligibility section reiterates that this is not a request for applications and that the NPS intends to fund the project without open competition, which effectively means the agency already has an intended recipient or arrangement in mind. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at 215-597-5949 (with an NPS email referenced but not fully shown in the provided text).
