Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00337
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice describing its intent to make a single-source financial assistance award for a project titled "Ecology of Muskrats in Voyageurs National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP19AC00337). This notice is explicitly not a call for new applications. Instead, it communicates that NPS plans to award a cooperative agreement to Kansas State University, which participates in the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network and had previously been part of a competed process. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary assistance under CFDA 15.945, with an expected single award and a funding cap of $99,999. The notice was created July 19, 2019, with an original closing date of July 30, 2019.
The project focuses on a practical management question in wetland ecology: whether muskrats can serve as a bio-restoration tool in wetlands invaded by hybrid cattail. Hybrid cattail can form dense stands that alter habitat structure and reduce biodiversity, so the study is aimed at understanding if muskrat behavior (particularly feeding and vegetation cutting) can help push these wetlands toward more native plant communities. In other words, the work is intended to generate evidence about whether muskrats can be part of a nature-based management strategy, rather than relying only on mechanical or chemical control methods.
To answer that question, the planned work includes three main task areas. First, researchers will conduct field operations involving trapping muskrats, applying tags, and using radio-marking to track animals that are translocated and relocated within selected study areas. This component is meant to document muskrat movements, survival, and habitat use after relocation, and to tie those patterns to changes observed in cattail-invaded wetlands. Second, the project includes controlled feeding trials designed to identify muskrat food preferences across native and non-native plants, helping managers understand whether muskrats are likely to target hybrid cattail and under what conditions they might choose native vegetation instead. Third, the team will produce scientific reports that summarize findings in a way that directly supports park management, giving Voyageurs National Park more defensible information for future restoration decisions.
All project activities will take place within Voyageurs National Park and nearby surrounding lands. The cooperative nature of the agreement is emphasized by the planned role of an NPS biologist serving as a co-principal investigator. That NPS collaborator is expected to be actively involved throughout the project, including study design, field data collection, analysis, and report writing, so the final products align with on-the-ground management needs and the realities of the park setting.Apply for NPS NOIP19AC00337
