Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00487
Implementing the Avian Monitoring Protocol for the NCR (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00487) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The project centers on carrying out a standardized bird monitoring effort across National Park Service units in the National Capital Region (NCR), with the overarching purpose of tracking the status and long-term trends of breeding bird populations. A key emphasis is building stronger baseline knowledge about how both grassland and forest bird communities are doing in and around NCR parklands, and using consistent field methods so that results can be compared across sites and over time.
The practical goal of the work is to generate reliable data that resource managers can use to understand population changes and make better decisions. By repeatedly monitoring breeding birds, the program is designed to help federal, state, and local partners detect shifts in bird abundance, diversity, and distribution, especially for sensitive forest-breeding species that may respond quickly to habitat fragmentation, development pressure, and other land use changes common in the NCR. The resulting information is intended to support forecasting and planning by allowing managers to track patterns, anticipate impacts from changing land use, and evaluate whether management actions are helping or if conditions are trending in a concerning direction.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a simple grant, which typically signals a more hands-on partnership with the National Park Service during planning, implementation, and reporting. The funding activity category is listed under Employment, Labor and Training, reflecting that the work will likely involve staffing for field monitoring, data handling, and related training components, rather than being limited to equipment or one-time purchases. In addition to supporting park management needs, the agreement is also explicitly meant to stimulate education and workforce development by supporting undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral research at the University of Delaware, creating a pipeline for training, field experience, and research outputs connected to real management questions.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the academic and training focus of the project. The opportunity was created on July 31, 2018, with an original closing date of August 10, 2018, indicating a short application window typical of targeted or partner-oriented federal opportunities. The award ceiling is $34,231, and the National Park Service expected to make one award, suggesting a small, focused project intended to implement or continue an established monitoring protocol rather than launch a large multi-year program.
In summary, this funding supports a targeted NCR bird monitoring effort aimed at producing actionable, long-term ecological data for park and regional decision-making while also strengthening academic research and training capacity through a university partnership.Apply for P18AS00487
