  • Natural Resource Condition Assessment for Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument

    This project will provide the National Park Service (NPS) with a Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument (KAWW; Attachment 1). NRCAs rely on existing data and expertise from a variety of NPS and non-NPS sources to provide a snapshot-in-time evaluation of resource conditions for a subset of important park natural resources and indicators. As with all other NPS NRCAs, the current project will be multidisciplinary (ecological) in scope, employ hierarchical indicator frameworks, identify or develop logical reference conditions/values to compare current condition data against, emphasize spatial evaluation of conditions and geospatial map products, summarize key findings at the park or park area (e.g., watershed boundary) levels, and follow national NRCA guidelines and standards for study design and reporting products.

    Funding Source: National Park Service
    Deadline: The deadline for responding to this request for LOI is January 19, 2024
    Funds Available: $50,000 – $75,000

  • Evaluation of a Multi-Parameter Standard Solution for Water-Quality Analysis

    Synopsis: The USGS Water Mission Area (WMA) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for a laboratory evaluation of a multi-parameter standard solution for water-quality analysis. 

    Funding Source: USGS
    Funding level: $75,000
    Deadline: November 30, 2023

  • Deer Population Estimation for Northeastern National Parks

    The northeast region of the National Park Service (NPS) has proposed an ambitious effort to improve forest resilience and prepare for the effects of climate change by addressing forest regeneration debt (Miller et al. 2023) in 17 northeastern and mid-Atlantic parks. If funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, this initiative will include environmental assessments and implementation of management action to increase tree regeneration in park forests. An important component of the effort will be evaluating current park-level efforts to estimate deer population size and developing a consistent regional approach for long-term deer monitoring.

    Funding Source: National Park Service
    Funds Available: $250,000
    Deadline: December 29, 2023
