Response of Beach Mice to Hurricane Impacted Landscapes | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Response of Beach Mice to Hurricane Impacted Landscapes" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ5320090049) was a discretionary National Park Service funding announcement intended to support a focused research effort on how beach mice respond to landscapes altered by hurricanes. The core purpose was to secure professional scientific expertise to carry out field studies that examine beach mouse behavior, distribution, survival, or habitat use following hurricane-related disturbance. In practical terms, the project was framed as applied wildlife and habitat research, aimed at generating on-the-ground data that could inform resource management decisions in hurricane-affected coastal environments.

This opportunity was offered as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates an expectation of substantial involvement or collaboration from the federal agency during the project. Rather than simply providing funding and stepping back, the National Park Service would likely have anticipated coordination on study design, access to park lands or resources, data needs tied to management questions, and communication of findings relevant to park operations and conservation planning. The funding activity category was listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reinforcing that the emphasis was on structured, field-based scientific work rather than outreach, construction, or routine operations.

The anticipated award profile was very specific: the agency expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $10,000, meaning the award amount was fixed rather than variable. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving the award. The CFDA number was listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which generally suggests the funding did not fit neatly into an existing standard assistance listing at the time or was categorized in a catch-all manner for administrative purposes.

Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, indicating the National Park Service was seeking proposals from private colleges or universities capable of conducting the needed ecological or wildlife field research. This implies the project was expected to be carried out by qualified academic researchers, potentially including faculty-led teams, graduate students, or research staff with relevant experience in small mammal ecology, coastal habitat assessment, post-storm landscape change, and field methods appropriate for sensitive species.

The timeline for the opportunity was short. It was posted on July 28, 2009, and the closing date was August 3, 2009, giving applicants only a brief window to respond. The opportunity was archived on September 2, 2009, which typically means it was no longer open for applications after that point and the process likely moved into review, selection, and award administration.

For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
