This grant from the National Park Service (NPS) is for a collaborative research project with Western Kentucky University. Its primary purpose is to investigate and develop effective treatment options for the tourist trails within Mammoth Cave National Park. The crucial objective of this research is to prevent the transmission and spread of White-Nose Syndrome. This highly contagious fungal disease, fatal to bats, can be inadvertently carried by human visitors on the cave trails. By researching various treatments, the project aims to mitigate the risk of human-vectored spread, thereby protecting the vulnerable bat populations within the park. This notice serves as an intent to award, rather than a general request for applications.
