Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Roosting Ecology of the Northern Long-eared Bat" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AC01364) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement focused on endangered species research and practical park management needs. The core project described is a radio-telemetry (radiotracking) study targeting the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The purpose of the work is to determine whether the species is present at the park and, if so, to generate roosting ecology information that the NPS can use to guide on-the-ground management decisions for an endangered bat species.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination on study design, access to park lands, data needs, reporting expectations, or integration of results into management planning). The activity category spans education, environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, and it is tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), reflecting its emphasis on stewardship-oriented science within the national park system.
Funding for the project in fiscal year 2014 was capped at a not-to-exceed amount of $27,973, and the announcement lists the estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor all as $27,973. In practical terms, this means the NPS anticipated making one award at a fixed amount for the described scope of work. The announcement also notes that any further awards would be dependent solely on the availability of funding, signaling that continuation or expansion was possible but not guaranteed and would rely on future appropriations or program priorities.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning state universities and similar public academic institutions were the intended applicants. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and clearly defined. It was posted and created on August 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2014, and it was later archived on September 20, 2014. This brief application window suggests the project may have been time-sensitive, tied to field season constraints for bat research, or targeted toward a limited pool of qualified academic partners.
