Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) plan to fund a cooperative agreement focused on bat monitoring in Yellowstone National Park. The stated purpose of the study is to develop a monitoring program for bats and to improve understanding of bat populations in the park by documenting their current status, where they occur, and where they roost. The work is framed as natural resources science and technology research, supporting broader stewardship of resources within the National Park System.
The proposed project activities center on field-based bat survey and tracking methods. Specifically, the project would use mist netting to capture bats for species identification and data collection, and radio telemetry to track individuals and locate roosting sites. By combining these methods, the effort is intended to produce clearer information on bat distribution across Yellowstone and to identify important roost locations that may be critical for conservation, monitoring design, and future management decisions.
This announcement is not an open call for proposals. It is a public notice that the NPS (listed here under Mammoth Cave National Park) intends to make an award without full and open competition, meaning the agency has identified a specific approach or partner arrangement rather than soliciting applications broadly. Although the listing includes an eligibility category of private institutions of higher education, the text makes clear it is not a request for applications.
The opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00152 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination on study design, logistics, data standards, or reporting). The notice indicates an expectation of a single award, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding amount is $35,250, and no award ceiling or floor is specified. Key dates show it was posted and created on June 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2014, and an archive date of July 16, 2014.
For official details, the notice points to Grants.gov as the additional information source. A contact is provided for access issues: Brian Straka at 865-436-1217 or brianstraka@nps.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is this funding opportunity about?

The purpose is to develop a monitoring program for bats and improve understanding of bat populations by documenting their current status, where they occur, and where they roost.
What is the main purpose of the study?
The stated purpose is to build a bat monitoring program for Yellowstone and strengthen baseline knowledge of bat populations, including distribution (where bats occur) and roosting ecology (where bats roost).
Which park will the work be conducted in?
