Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 17 MACA 32627
The 2017 to 2018 Bat Monitoring Interns opportunity at Mammoth Cave National Park (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI 17 MACA 32627) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, issued by the Department of the Interior. It falls under a discretionary cooperative agreement and is categorized in the environmental funding activity area under CFDA 15.931. The announcement was created on August 27, 2017, with an original closing date of September 5, 2017, and it anticipates a single award with a maximum (award ceiling) of $42,684.
This notice is not a call for new applications or proposals. Instead, it is meant to publicly document the National Park Service's intention to make a task agreement award under an existing master cooperative agreement that has already been competed, or that has been justified as single-source. In practical terms, that means the recipient is being selected through a pre-established agreement vehicle rather than through an open, competitive grant application process tied to this specific notice.
The purpose of the task agreement is focused on hands-on field work and biological monitoring. The core objective is to conduct field assessments of at-risk bat populations within Mammoth Cave National Park. This work is intended to support ongoing research and protection efforts related to White-nose Syndrome, a disease that has caused severe declines in bat populations across North America. By monitoring bat populations in the park, the project aims to strengthen the National Park Service's ability to understand where vulnerable bat species are persisting, how populations are changing over time, and how disease spread may be affecting bats associated with Mammoth Cave and its surrounding ecosystems.
Eligibility is broadly listed as "Others," with the note that clarification would appear in the full eligibility text field. However, since the notice is specifically a notice of intent to award under an existing cooperative agreement framework, the typical concept of broad eligibility is less relevant here than in a standard competitive funding opportunity. The main takeaway is that this announcement serves transparency and public recordkeeping for a planned award that supports bat monitoring interns and field assessment activities tied to White-nose Syndrome response and bat conservation at Mammoth Cave National Park.Apply for NPS NOI 17 MACA 32627
