Opportunity Summary:
The Small Mammal Inventory at Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00348) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.650, Research Grants - Generic). The project focuses on Bitter Creek NWR, which is part of the Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Ventura County, California, and its core purpose is to improve on-the-ground knowledge of small mammal communities on the refuge, specifically rodents.
The work described centers on determining the presence or absence of rodent species and estimating their relative abundance across selected habitat types within the refuge. In practical terms, the opportunity calls for conducting live-trapping surveys (livetrapping) in targeted habitats to document which rodent species occur in different areas and how commonly they are encountered relative to one another. This kind of inventory work typically supports refuge management by creating baseline data that can be used for future comparisons, guiding habitat management decisions, and helping evaluate ecological conditions over time.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed at a total of $44,995, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $44,995, indicating the agency anticipated making a single award for the full amount. Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the applicant pool is primarily universities and similar public academic entities with the capacity to carry out field-based wildlife research and data collection.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2012, and it was archived shortly afterward on August 3, 2012. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Irma Barraza at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (805-644-1766, IrmaBarraza@fws.gov).
