The National Park Service is offering this grant to advance its acoustical monitoring capabilities across park units. This initiative aims to significantly improve existing systems, enabling more efficient and extended data collection through exploring wireless communication options for field instruments. The grant will support the development of innovative software tools and analytical procedures, ensuring rapid and concise translation of complex acoustical data into actionable reports and graphical presentations. This funding is purposed for ongoing acoustical monitoring, crucial for expanding the NPS inventory of park soundscapes, evaluating current equipment and software performance, and facilitating broad comparative analyses of acoustical conditions nationwide. This non-competitive award is designated for Colorado State University.

| Description: | The project will improve existing National Park Service (NPS) acoustical monitoring systems, explore options for more efficient and longer-term data collection, test options for wireless communications systems for periodic status reports from field instruments, develop software tools for more efficient data processing, and devise analytical procedures for more rapid and concise translation of data into reports and graphical presentations. The project will include ongoing acoustical monitoring to expand the NPS inventory of acoustical conditions in park units, to evaluate the performance of current generations of equipment and software, and to provide material for broad comparative analyses of acoustical conditions across the continent. This action will be issued as a task agreement, on a non-competitive basis to Colorado State University under an existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Cooperative Agreement NO H2370094000. This is a notice of intent and non competitive award in accordance with Department of Interior Policy, Department Manual 505DM2. |
