Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP17AC01116 002
The grant opportunity titled "Wolf Predition on Beavers and Moose in Voyageurs National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not a brand-new competition in the usual sense; it is a modification that adds additional funding to an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC01116) with the University of Minnesota, which participates in the Great Lakes Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose of adding funds is to continue or expand research focused on gray wolf hunting behavior in Voyageurs National Park, specifically in a landscape where beavers are abundant and therefore represent a potentially vulnerable and readily available prey source.
The central research question behind the award is how the presence of plentiful beavers might change wolf predation patterns on other large mammals, especially moose and deer. In practical terms, the project aims to improve understanding of whether wolves switch prey when beavers are easy to catch, and what that means for predation pressure on moose and deer populations. Because the setting is Voyageurs National Park, the work also supports broader park management and ecological understanding by clarifying predator-prey dynamics in a northern forest and wetland system where beaver populations can be high and seasonally accessible.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, collaboration on study design, data needs, field coordination, or reporting). The opportunity number is listed as NPS NOIP17AC01116 002, the CFDA number is 15.945, and the activity category is labeled "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into common grant categories and is instead specialized research or applied science described in the notice. The total award ceiling is $252,250, and the NPS anticipates making one award, reinforcing that this action is targeted to the existing partner agreement rather than intended to support multiple recipients.
Eligibility is identified broadly as "Others," but the description makes clear that the funding modification is tied to the University of Minnesota under the CESU partnership framework. The notice was created on July 19, 2019, with an original closing date of July 30, 2019. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an incremental funding increase to support continued, park-relevant research on how wolf foraging choices in a beaver-rich ecosystem may influence predation rates on moose and deer, helping inform scientific understanding and management decisions in Voyageurs National Park.Apply for NPS NOIP17AC01116 002
