Opportunity Information: Apply for W912DQ 18 2 0006
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Kansas City District, offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Bat Monitoring Fort Leonard Wood, MO" (Funding Opportunity Number W912DQ 18 2 0006). The award was planned as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA 12.114. The posting was created on May 14, 2018, and originally closed on June 11, 2018.
The purpose of the project was to provide program support to monitor seismic activity, acoustics, and general noise levels in and around cave systems near the Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) training range at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The core goal was to evaluate whether and how military training operations at the MICLIC range might affect bat populations that use caves located within roughly a 2-mile radius of the range. In practical terms, the work would involve collecting and analyzing monitoring data that can link training-related disturbances (such as blasts, ground vibration, and high-decibel noise) to potential impacts on bats inhabiting nearby caves.
Eligibility for applicants was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of entity types, as long as any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement were met. The government anticipated making a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $150,000.Apply for W912DQ 18 2 0006
