Opportunity Information: Apply for P14AS00171
The National Park Service (NPS) has announced its intention to award a grant of $92,000 to Northern Arizona University to fund the project "Comprehensive Assessment of Risk of Caves to White Nose Syndrome" (WNS). This grant is a continuation of prior work aimed at assessing the risk posed by WNS to cave-dwelling bat populations across the United States, particularly in national parks where bat habitats are vital for their long-term survival.
The project, led by Dr. Carol Chambers, intends to evaluate cave vulnerabilities to the WNS fungus using an innovative approach that combines ecological and genetic research. Key activities include creating bat inventories through live captures and acoustics, assessing cave microclimates suitable for the fungus, and developing non-invasive methods to identify bat species from collected feces. The research also includes examining the microbiome of bats and cave soil, establishing baseline data for better understanding WNS risks.
The NPS will play a collaborative role, helping to set project goals, refining the research scope, and sharing findings with various agencies to promote bat conservation efforts nationwide. The performance period for this cooperative agreement is set from the award date until September 30, 2015. The grant falls under the authorities that allow NPS to engage in such cooperative agreements for public purposes related to park resource management and research training programs.
This initiative represents a comprehensive assessment approach, aimed at providing practical solutions and knowledge for the ongoing battle against WNS affecting bat populations.Apply for P14AS00171
