- 2025 Acadia Science Fellowship RFP
Schoodic Institute and the National Park Service are pleased to announce the Request for Proposals for fellowships to support research in Acadia National Park in 2025. The Acadia Science Fellowship supports a new generation of talented scientists doing innovative, management-relevant research; telling stories of park science that inform, inspire, and reach new audiences; and engage the public in ways that stimulate learning, curiosity, and concern for Acadia and national parks more broadly. Research proposals on a wide variety of topics are invited, but must address priority resource management issues in Acadia, such as climate change adaptation.
Funding Source: National Park Service via Schoodic Institute
Funding Amount: $30,000 per fellowship, up to 3 fellowships will be awarded
Deadline: October 31, 2024
For more information see the RFP. There will also be a webinar overview of the fellowship, the application process, and park research priorities on Monday, September 16 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time. Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the webinar. Visit schoodicinstitute.org/acadiasciencefellowship/ for additional information, webinar registration and recording after September 16, and the application portal.
- Develop a Species Management Strategy for the Anastasia Island Beach Mouse at Fort Matanzas National Monument, Florida
The Anastasia Island beach mouse (AIBM) (Peromyscus polionotus phasma) is a subspecies of oldfield mouse. It is currently found only on Anastasia Island, a 14-mile long barrier island in Florida. Its population is largely relegated to two remaining natural preserves – Anastasia State Park at the north end of the island, and Fort Matanzas National Monument (FMNM) at the southern end. Both parks preserve remnants of coastal sand dune ecosystems, the primary habitat required by AIBM. Due to its highly restricted range and vulnerability to hurricanes and coastal development, the subspecies is listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This project will assess the current condition and extent of potential AIBM habitat at FMNM, and develop a species management strategy for AIBM that will include short and long-term management actions that can be implemented and sustained by park staff without causing unacceptable impacts to other park resources.

Funding Amount: $100,000

- Inventory reptile and amphibian species present at Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA), Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR)
Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA), Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR) need an inventory of reptile and amphibian species of interest to document current reptile and amphibian population status within the parks. This inventory is needed to inform invasive species management, restoration/dredging and trail maintenance management actions at the parks. Rare species have been noted in two of the parks (MIMA and MORR).
Funding Source: National Park Service
Funding Amount: $190,000
Deadline: September 6, 2024

- Inventory smelt at Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site to Inform Consultation Prior to Dredging
Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR) needs an inventory of smelt and other fish species of interest to document current fish population status in the Saugus River within the park and evaluate use of known rainbow smelt spawning habitat. Comparison of current populations and habitat use to a previous study in the Turning Basin (2007) is desired. This inventory is a requirement for consultation with the Massachusetts Division of Fish and Wildlife and for NEPA compliance as the park prepares to dredge contaminated sediment from the Turning Basin.
Funding Source: National Park Service
Funding Amount: $50,000
Deadline: September 6, 2024
