Grant Opportunity Analysis

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity through a Cooperative Agreement for a partner affiliated with the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) to conduct research on bat distribution, activity, and disease status at two U.S. Navy properties. The objective of this funding is to assess the presence and health of bat populations, particularly in light of the threats posed by the fungal pathogen causing white-nose syndrome, which has led to significant declines in bat populations across the country. This research is crucial for understanding the ecological role of bats in the Pacific Northwest and enhancing regional conservation efforts. The total funding available for this opportunity is $40,000, with a minimum award of $1, and applications must be submitted electronically by January 13, 2026. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Rachel Miller at rachelmiller@usgs.gov.
