Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Impacts of Anthropogenic Noise on Wildlife" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIWASOJ2390100147) focused on understanding how human-caused noise affects wildlife in national park settings. The project is framed as a scientific research effort designed to generate practical, management-relevant information for parks dealing with increasing noise from sources such as traffic, aircraft, and other visitor or operational activities. The work emphasizes not just documenting noise, but studying how noise changes animal behavior and broader ecological patterns, and then translating those findings into usable guidance through outreach and scientific communication.
The scope of work described includes several complementary research components. It calls for experimental studies and behavioral investigations to determine how wildlife respond to different noise conditions, along with landscape-level and forecasting modeling to understand how noise spreads across terrain and to predict potential impacts under different scenarios. In addition to research and modeling, the opportunity highlights outreach and communication as formal parts of the project, suggesting the results are intended to be shared with both scientific audiences and park managers in a way that supports decision-making and public understanding.
This funding announcement is structured as a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $155,801 (award ceiling: $155,801; award floor: $0) and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on objectives, methods, deliverables, or application of results within park management contexts. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting its focus on wildlife and conservation issues.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the notice specifies that the award will be made as a single-source action to Colorado State University, specifically the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation in Fort Collins, Colorado. The agreement is to be executed as a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Cooperative Agreement H2370094000. The announcement also notes that the award is made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy, referencing Department Manual 505 DM 2, which governs aspects of financial assistance and related award procedures.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on July 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 8, 2010, and an archive date of August 7, 2010. The notice states it is a resubmission of an earlier announcement (NPS NOI J2390100076 dated February 11, 2010), indicating the agency reissued the notice rather than launching a wholly new competition.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
