Determine Population Dynamics of Archipelagic Black Bear Population | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Determine Population Dynamics of Archipelagic Black Bear Population" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ6140090505) to support scientific field research aimed at improving harvest management decisions for archipelagic black bears. The core purpose of the project is to provide professional expertise and on-the-ground study capacity to determine key population dynamics parameters for this bear population. In practical terms, the work is intended to generate defensible biological information that managers can use when setting or evaluating harvest-related policies, such as understanding whether the population is stable, increasing, or declining, and what factors may be driving those trends.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service anticipated an active partnership with the selected recipient rather than a simple pass-through funding arrangement. The program falls under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category, reflecting its emphasis on applied wildlife research. The announcement projected a single award, with total estimated funding of $22,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $22,000, indicating the agency expected to fund one project at that fixed amount and did not plan to make multiple smaller awards or negotiate a wide range of budgets under this specific posting. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered.

Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which typically includes state universities and similar public academic entities. This eligibility restriction suggests the agency was specifically seeking applicants with established research capacity, scientific staff or faculty, and the administrative infrastructure needed to conduct field studies and manage a federal cooperative agreement. Although the brief description does not list specific study methods, the stated focus on "population dynamics" generally implies collecting or analyzing data relevant to abundance or density, survival rates, reproduction, age or sex structure, recruitment, and other demographic measures that inform sustainable harvest management. The wording also emphasizes "field studies," signaling that the work was expected to involve direct data collection in the bears' habitat rather than being solely literature-based or purely analytical.

Key dates for the opportunity show a short application window. The opportunity was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009. The archive date was November 27, 2009, after which the listing would be considered inactive for application purposes. The listing also includes a CFDA number noted as "00.000 Not Elsewhere Classified," which typically indicates the opportunity was not associated with a standard CFDA program listing at the time of posting.
