Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Fund Arizona Fish and Game Department to Study Long Nosed Bats" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIORPI110054), is a National Park Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement. It is essentially a notice of intent to issue a task agreement to the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AGFD) under an existing cooperative agreement, rather than an open, broadly competitive solicitation. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The National Park Service anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $140,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity was posted and created on April 4, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 7, 2011, and it was archived on May 7, 2011.
The central purpose of the task agreement is to coordinate conservation and recovery actions for the endangered lesser long-nosed bat by combining efforts between Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and AGFD. Over a two-year period (2011 to 2012), AGFD would conduct a focused study within the SBInet Ajo 1 Action Area to locate both known and previously unknown bat roosts and to document occupancy patterns across all roost sites in the area. The intent is not just to confirm where bats are present, but to understand when and how roosts are used over time, which is critical for managing sensitive habitat and reducing disturbance impacts.
The study methods described emphasize direct and indirect monitoring approaches designed to capture roost use before and after occupancy periods. Planned techniques include internal roost surveys conducted pre- and post-occupancy, along with the deployment of motion detectors and remote DVR camera systems to record bat activity with minimal intrusion. Monitoring would be concentrated on lands within the action area that include Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument as well as Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, reflecting a landscape-scale approach across adjacent federal conservation units where roosting and movement are likely to occur.
A key driver for the work is the need to evaluate potential impacts to both migratory and resident lesser long-nosed bat populations associated with increased activity in the region, including actions linked to the Department of Homeland Security. The results are meant to provide actionable information about how heightened human activity may affect roost occupancy and bat presence, supporting better-informed management decisions and compliance planning. Importantly, the announcement notes that these efforts are legally required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, indicating that the monitoring and assessment are part of mandated federal responsibilities to avoid jeopardizing an endangered species and to support its recovery.
