About this opportunity

This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition.ABSTRACTFunding Announcement P15AS01026Project Title Identify Vulnerable Populations of Dall’s Sheep in Alaska’s National Parks Using Climate ModelsRecipient University of IdahoTotal Anticipated Award Amount $90,061Cost Share NoneAnticipated Length of Agreement 2 YearsAnticipated Period of Performance 8/30/15 - 10/30/17Award Instrument Cooperative AgreementStatutory Authority 54USC§100702(b) Cooperative Studies Units: The Secretary shall enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the System, or the larger region of which System units are a part.CFDA # and Title 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs – Resources of the National Park System (CESU)Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique QualificationsPoint of Contact Erica CordeiroOVERVIEWDall’s sheep (Ovis dalli) are a the quintessential resident of the rugged and mountainous parks in Alaska including Denali National Park and Preserve, Wrangell St. Elias National Park, Yukon-Charlie Rivers National Preserve, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Western Arctic National Parklands including Noatak National Preserve and Lake Clark National Park and Preserve because they may be hunted in preserve areas, are one of the most readily viewed large mammals by visitors, and may serve as a sensitive indicator of climate and vegetation change. Highly seasonal environments such as those in arctic and alpine areas are expected to be strongly affected by climate change, and changing plant phenology could have strong repercussions on recruitment in mountain sheep whose reproduction is closely linked to vegetation green-up. This project will use existing spatial data for Dall’s sheep to model resource selection in combination with climate models to identify vulnerable populations in Alaska’s National Parks.STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLANObjectives1. Model resource selection for Dall’s sheep within Alaska National Parks using traditional and bioclimatic variables.2. Use climatic models and resource selection data to assess Dall’s sheep response to projected changes in climate. 3. Determine the vulnerability of park sheep populations to predicted climate induced habitat changes.RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENTThe recipient will:1. Use animal location data to evaluate habitat selection and develop space use models that include bioclimatic variables along with more classic habitat variables. 2. Evaluate movement patterns at different temporal scales in relation to bioclimatic variables. 3. Model bioclimatic envelope under future scenarios, and use results from the best model(s) of resource selection that include bioclimatic variables to predict animal responses. 4. Project changes in availability and distribution of habitats under climate change scenarios, and examine loss or expansion of habitats used by sheep within parks.5. Complete annual and final accomplishment reports, final completion report, and draft 2 manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENTSubstantial involvement on the part of the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: 1. Providing Dall’s sheep location data from Alaska National Parks.2. Providing geographic information system data on landscape features in Alaska National Parks.3.
