About this opportunity
The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to conduct an inventory of bat species, particularly the tricolored bat, and their roost sites and foraging habitat at four national parks in the southeastern United States: Canaveral National Seashore, Fort Matanzas National Monument, Cumberland Island National Seashore, and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. The funding opportunity is part of the NPS Natural Resource Stewardship program (CFDA 15.944) and the project is expected to result in a standard set of deliverables including a report. The application deadline is June 12, 2024, and the anticipated award date is August 1, 2024.
The total estimated funding available for this opportunity is $60,000 to $100,000, and the anticipated project term is 21 months, from August 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026. Eligible applicants include state, local, and tribal governments, other federal agencies, public entities, educational institutions, and private non-profit organizations. The parks anticipate a sample set of at least five sites at each park to provide insights for their management needs.
Synopsis
The National Park Service Species Inventories Program (https://www.nps.gov/im/species-inventories.htm) funds projects that address specific management actions underway or planned at a park and the timeline for these projects typically is 12-18 months, resulting in a standard set of deliverables including a report. Four parks in the southeastern United States need an inventory of bat species occurrence (presence/absence) particularly of tricolored bats and their roost site locations and foraging habitat. The parks are Canaveral National Seashore, Fort Matanzas National Monument, Cumberland Island National Seashore and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. Each park would like to understand bat presence/absence in natural habitat and selected structures. They anticipate a sample set of at least five sites at each park could be sufficient to provide insights to their management needs. Our project development workflows involve engaging park managers to clarify their needs. Once an agreement is in place, we coordinate project calls and assist with deliverables and product reviews.
