Opportunity Summary:
The Landbird Data Analysis for Great Lakes Network Parks opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AC01361) was a National Park Service discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). Its purpose was to fund a single project that would deliver the first long-term analysis of landbird monitoring data collected across National Park Service Great Lakes Network parks. Landbirds are treated as a "Vital Sign" within the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program, so the work was meant to turn years of monitoring records into clear, management-ready findings rather than simply adding more raw observations.
The core work described in the announcement focused on analyzing existing park landbird datasets to quantify bird abundance and evaluate trends over time. The intended outcome was practical: provide park managers with credible, statistically supported information they can use for resource stewardship and decision-making, and also produce information suitable for sharing with the visiting public to improve understanding of bird populations in these parks. In other words, the project emphasized translating monitoring data into actionable insight and accessible communication, not just technical outputs.
Funding was fixed and relatively small but targeted: an estimated total of $26,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $26,000, and the agency expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers to participation for eligible institutions. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the National Park Service was specifically seeking an academic partner with the capacity to conduct rigorous long-term ecological data analysis and collaborate closely with NPS staff under a cooperative agreement structure.
The opportunity timeline was short. It was posted and created on July 31, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2014, and it was archived on September 6, 2014. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Katie Schroeder, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 402-661-1640. The listing also referenced Grants.gov for additional information.
