Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00796
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Pacific Northwest Bat Identification and White-Nose Syndrome Surveillance" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00796). This notice is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award, meaning it is not a request for applications and there is no open application period.
The planned award is a cooperative agreement (as opposed to a standard grant), which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work, such as collaborating on project design, methods, coordination, or oversight. The effort falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The opportunity was created on September 12, 2017, and the original closing date is effectively not applicable because the announcement is not soliciting proposals.
NPS indicates it expects to make one award, with an anticipated funding ceiling of $79,333. The intended recipient is Oregon State University, identified as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The specific agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P17AC01656. While the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the notice makes clear that NPS is moving forward with Oregon State University without full and open competition, and the announcement serves primarily as a transparency measure rather than a competitive funding opportunity.
In practical terms, the project scope signaled by the title focuses on two connected priorities in the Pacific Northwest: improving bat species identification and conducting surveillance for white-nose syndrome, a serious wildlife disease that affects bats. Surveillance typically involves field and/or laboratory activities aimed at detecting the presence of the disease, monitoring its spread, and supporting early response or management decisions. Bat identification work commonly supports those goals by ensuring accurate species-level information, which can be important for understanding risk, documenting impacts, and guiding conservation actions.Apply for P17AS00796
