The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded Oregon State University (OSU) a $385,709 Project Grant under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) to advance solutions for controlling the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which causes white-nose syndrome in North American bat populations. The key products and services to be delivered through this 20-month grant include: Evaluating the lack of non-target effects of the proposed gene-silencing...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $147,374 Formula Grant under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety program (CFDA 15.611) to the State of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), Salem Region Office, to support coordination of annual implementation of stationary acoustic bat surveys across Oregon in alignment with the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABAT) protocol. The grant will also fund audible bat surveys in appropriate habitats concurrent...
This $195,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684), will support a two-year continuous monitoring project to characterize critical habitats and roosting areas for bat species impacted by white-nose syndrome (WNS) in the central Great Plains region along the Missouri River. The project will monitor 15 core sites acoustically year-round to collect...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $340,771 Project Grant under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) to Bat Conservation International, Inc. (BCI), a non-profit organization focused on bat conservation. The grant supports efforts to 1) build a summer and colony count data pipeline to assess the impacts of white-nose syndrome on the Mexican free-tailed bat (Myotis velifer) population across 5 U.S. states and 2 Mexican states, and 2)...
This $1.78 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop strategies to mitigate white-nose syndrome (WNS), a lethal fungal disease decimating North American bat populations. Over three years, the university will interrogate how the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) initiates infection by adhering to bat skin, using a first-of-its-kind keratinocyte cell line from...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $187,030 Project Grant under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) to the University of Illinois. The funding supports a range-wide population genomic assessment of the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) to establish baseline population parameters, delineate subpopulations, examine gene flow, and assess the impacts of threats like white-nose syndrome, wind turbine mortality,...
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 awarded a $132,710 Project Grant to Bioconciencia A.C. from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684). The grant will support continued efforts to document winter bat ecology in Mexico and assess potential entry and spread of Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd) fungus. Key activities include winter colony counts and searches for new bat hibernacula, with...
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded the State of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) a Formula Grant under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education program (CFDA 15.611). The $559,033 grant, awarded on July 1, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2026, supports two key objectives: Investigating the impacts of forest thinning and riparian restoration on native bird and bat species in Oregon, including collecting pre-treatment...
This Project Grant award of $162,499 from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684) aims to understand the progression of white-nose syndrome in western bat populations in the United States. The research will focus on surveillance of the causative fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans across four western states (New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California) in several Myotis bat species, including the...
The University of Wyoming, through its Sponsored Programs department, was awarded a $149,500 Project Grant by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the White-nose Syndrome National Response Implementation program (CFDA 15.684). The grant will fund a vaccination efficacy trial for endangered Northern long-eared bats in the Bearlodge Mountains of Wyoming. Key activities include capturing bats at water sources and summer roosts, administering oral white-nose syndrome vaccines or placebo...
