Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent: Large mammal response to wildfire and landscape-scale forest restoration" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00233), is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.945) and was posted on June 10, 2016, with an application closing date of June 19, 2016. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $50,092.
The main purpose of the funding is to expand an ongoing wildlife research effort focused on how large mammals respond to wildfire and to forest restoration activities implemented at a landscape scale. Specifically, the project is tied to forest restoration treatments associated with the Southwest Jemez Mountains Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project (SWJM-CFLRP). The core scientific goal is to monitor and better understand the responses of elk, mule deer, and black bear to these restoration treatments, which are intended to improve forest conditions and resilience, particularly in fire-prone landscapes.
The additional funds described in the notice are targeted to a few concrete enhancements to the project. First, the project will purchase additional GPS radio collars to increase collar deployment on elk, strengthening the study's ability to track movements, habitat use, and behavioral changes in relation to restoration work and post-fire conditions. Second, the funding will provide extended support for a graduate student, which suggests the award is also intended to sustain the research workforce needed to manage fieldwork, data collection, and analysis over a longer timeframe.
A key operational change included in the notice is an extension of the period of performance. This extension is designed to give the research team more time in the field to collect additional data using the new GPS collars, which is particularly important for wildlife movement studies that benefit from multi-season or multi-year datasets. In addition, the notice indicates that language is being added to "Article 6" of the agreement to allow future fiscal year funding to be added if funds become available, signaling an intent to keep the agreement flexible for potential follow-on support rather than requiring a brand-new award for later incremental funding.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with other eligible entities as clarified in the opportunity's additional eligibility information. Overall, the opportunity is narrowly focused on expanding capacity (more collars, more student support, more time for field data) to improve understanding of how major large-mammal species respond to forest restoration and wildfire-related landscape change within the SWJM-CFLRP area.
