Opportunity Information: Apply for P14AS00178
The National Park Service (NPS) intends to award funding to Colorado State University (CSU) for a project titled "Sensory Ecology and the Effects of Noise and Light Pollution on Wildlife," without a competitive application process. The principal investigator is Dr. George Wittemyer, and the allocated amount is approximately $502,252, with no required cost sharing.
The focus of the project is to investigate how noise and light pollution impact wildlife behavior and ecology, addressing significant gaps in current understanding. Noise levels have been shown to significantly affect wildlife in various ways, including behavior, fitness, and community structure. The project will explore various research areas, including the effects of noise exposure on animals, the potential influence of light pollution, the recovery processes from such exposure, and the development of advanced monitoring methods.
NPS will play a major role in the project by collaborating with CSU, providing financial assistance, equipment, and expertise. The goals include furthering scientific knowledge, enhancing educational opportunities for students and researchers, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and ultimately contributing to conservation efforts.
The agreement, which runs until August 30, 2016, is justified under the "continuation" criterion, as it continues previously funded research without disrupting project continuity. Moreover, it aligns with NPS’s cooperative agreement authorities, ensuring public purposes and coordination of research efforts related to national park resources.Apply for P14AS00178
