Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Searching for Close Relatives of Pseudogymnoascus destructans and clues to natural defenses in Bat Microbiota" is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resource research within the National Park System. The work centers on Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the fungal pathogen associated with white-nose syndrome in bats, and specifically aims to identify close relatives of this fungus and investigate potential natural protective factors found in bat-associated microbiota. In practical terms, the project is meant to improve scientific understanding of the pathogen's biology and ecology and to look for microbial clues that might explain why some bats or populations show greater resistance or resilience, which could ultimately inform conservation or management strategies.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. Eligible applicants are effectively limited because the agency states directly that this is a single-source award to the University of New Mexico, meaning the NPS has already selected the recipient institution for the task agreement associated with this CESU cooperative agreement.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00588 and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The NPS expected to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $38,634. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows no formal award ceiling or floor, which is common in notices where a specific project budget has already been determined and the posting functions mainly as a public transparency step rather than an open call for proposals.
The timeline for this notice was short: it was posted and created on May 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 18, 2014, and it was archived on June 17, 2014. Because the agency specifies that it is not requesting applications, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions.
