Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0039
The grant opportunity titled "Effects of Imidacloprid on Soil Macrofauna with Riparian Hemlock Forests" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0039) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice about an intended award rather than an open competition. Although it is listed under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, the key point is that the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that was either previously competed or supported by a single-source justification. In practical terms, this means the agency is signaling transparency about where the work is going, but it is not inviting new proposals from the broader community for this specific action.
The subject matter focuses on evaluating the effects of imidacloprid on soil macrofauna within riparian hemlock forests. Imidacloprid is a widely used systemic insecticide that has been applied in forest settings to manage invasive or damaging insect pests, and soil macrofauna refers to larger soil-dwelling organisms such as earthworms, beetles, millipedes, and other invertebrates that play major roles in decomposition, nutrient cycling, soil structure, and food-web support. Riparian hemlock forests, which occur along streams and rivers, are often ecologically sensitive because they influence water temperature, bank stability, and aquatic habitat quality. The framing of the opportunity suggests NPS is interested in understanding possible non-target or ecosystem-level impacts associated with imidacloprid use in these environments, likely to inform management decisions and stewardship practices in park units where hemlock ecosystems are present.
Administratively, the opportunity is sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is associated with the Natural Resources funding activity category. The CFDA number listed is 15.945, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs. Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with how many NPS science and resource management partnerships are structured, especially under cooperative agreements that emphasize collaboration, shared responsibilities, and involvement by academic partners. The posting was created on May 02, 2017, with an original closing date of May 12, 2017, reflecting a short public-notice window typical of announcements meant to document intent rather than run a full competitive cycle.
In terms of funding scale and expected outcome, the award ceiling is $38,000 and the expected number of awards is one. This points to a small, targeted project rather than a multi-site program or large research initiative. With a single anticipated award under an existing master cooperative agreement, the effort likely involves a defined scope of work, such as field sampling of soil communities, pre- and post-treatment comparisons, laboratory identification and quantification of macrofauna, and analysis of ecological indicators relevant to riparian forest health. Overall, the notice communicates that NPS intends to support a specific, limited research or monitoring task connected to imidacloprid impacts in riparian hemlock systems, but it is not an open call for new applications.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0039
