About this opportunity

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD 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. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00393 Project Title Wildlife sensory ecology research Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $557,133.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signatures to December 31, 2017 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signatures to December 31, 2017 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) & (b) & 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research & Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 [email protected] OVERVIEW Project Title: Wildlife Sensory Ecology Research Project Description: This project will pursue research to measure the responses of wildlife to noise and light pollution, and to develop and apply methods to extract environmental information from acoustical recordings. The effects of artificial light at night on wildlife will be pursued through support for a postdoctoral researcher. The environmental acoustic investigations will be pursued through support for the undergraduate ���Listening Laboratory��� that was created under a previous agreement. This Listening Laboratory offers opportunities for undergraduate honors students to participate in research and data analysis related to soundscapes. The Listening Laboratory is led by a second postdoctoral researcher, who oversees student research projects and originates other field research. The public purposes that this financial assistance stimulates are 1) advancing scientific understanding of sensory ecology and its significance for the National Park resource management and visitor experience, and 2) supporting the education and career development of undergraduate and postgraduate scientists. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Noise and stray light are pervasive pollutants in protected natural areas, creating potentially disturbing stimuli for wildlife and degrading their sensory environments. Noise and stray light also compromises the quality of outdoor recreation experience. Although the broad outlines of noise impacts to wildlife are clear, more detailed understanding is needed to identify priorities for noise management in protected natural areas, and to devise efficient and effective mitigation. Although less is known about the effects of light on ecosystems, Longcore and Rich 2004 document numerous examples of the effects of ecological light pollution. The primary goal of this task agreement is to stimulate observational and experimental research to address fundamental issues regarding the effects of noise and light on wildlife behavior and ecology. Although many details of the research program will depend upon the particular talents of the personnel who are recruited, several broad areas of inquiry can be anticipated. This is not an exhaustive list. ��� Document the effects of noise exposure on time and energy budgets for free-ranging animals. ��� Explore laboratory systems in which behavioral effects of noise and light can be studied. ��� Document the time courses of response and recovery in relation to noise and light exposure. ��� Utilize noise or light broadcast systems to study the effects of noise in the absence of other anthropogenic stimuli. ��� Evaluate the spatial coverage and information content of acoustical recordings for monitoring the activities of noise sources and wildlife. Wildlife studies may include other data collection systems for comparison with the acoustical data (e. g. camera trapping, video monitoring, point count or line transect sampling).
