Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00392
The funding opportunity titled "Structured decision support for bald eagle monitoring in Alaska" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00392) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) award under the Department of the Interior, issued through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Cooperative Research and Training Programs. The project focuses on developing and applying a structured decision support model to strengthen and improve how bald eagles are monitored across four Alaska park units: Katmai National Park and Preserve (KATM), Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL), Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ), and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST). In practical terms, the work is meant to help park managers make more consistent, transparent, and defensible monitoring choices by formally laying out objectives, decision points, tradeoffs, and the information needed to track eagle status and trends.
The award is set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects substantial involvement and collaboration during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The activity aligns with education, environment, and natural resources goals, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The opportunity lists eligibility as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but it is explicitly a notice of intent to award to South Dakota State University, and applications were not accepted from any other applicant. The notice was created on June 16, 2017, with an original closing date of June 22, 2017, indicating a short administrative window consistent with a sole-intended award process.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates a single award with an award ceiling of $50,000 and one expected award. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support for a decision-analytic framework that can guide bald eagle monitoring design and prioritization across multiple Alaska national park units, helping ensure monitoring efforts are efficient, comparable, and aligned with management needs.Apply for P17AS00392
