Opportunity Summary:
The White Nose Syndrome Research grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R5 ES 10 049) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on supporting research and management actions related to white nose syndrome, a fungal disease responsible for the deaths of more than one million cave-hibernating bats in eastern North America. The intent of the opportunity is to fund work that improves understanding of the disease and supports practical responses that can help slow impacts, guide conservation decisions, and advance recovery efforts for affected bat populations and habitats.
Funding is provided through either a cooperative agreement or a grant, under an environmental funding activity category, and is associated with CFDA 15.657 (Endangered Species Conservation, Recovery Implementation Funds).

Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $50,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $750,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means projects could be proposed without the need to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
