This grant offered by the Fish and Wildlife Service aims to expand regional phenology monitoring projects in key ecological areas. It involves adapting existing projects in the Middle Rio Grande, Mississippi River corridor, and Monarch Butterfly central flyway to better understand the impacts of climate change. The grant also includes improving the FWS-NPN portal for enhanced data access and analysis. Additionally, the grant involves assessing biological response to climate change across Refuges, following the model developed for the National Park Service. The closing date for applications is Apr 29, 2016.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This is a Notice of Intent to award a Single Source Cooperative Agreement to the Arizona Board of Regents, University of Arizona, USA National Phenology Network (NPN), School of Natural Resources, University of Arizona for the purpose of using Natureâ¿¿s Notebook to help integrate phenology citizen science activities on refuges in order to better understand how climate change may affect conservation actions, and to engage the public in that understanding. |

| Description: | 1. Expand and / or adapt existing regional projects generally focusing in three Service priority areas of interest: Middle Rio Grande (Bosque) ecosystem, Mississippi River corridor for Mayflies, and Monarch Butterfly central flyway. These areas provide the FWS an opportunity to combine Service data with off-station data to better understand climate change impacts across large-scale areas, ecosystems, and FWS units rather than in isolation.
2. Communication and revision of the FWS-NPN portal content and organization. The site will be modified to improve data access and analysis and provide clear examples of how currently established phenology monitoring on stations has led to enhanced baseline information needed for decision making and conservation planning. 3. Assessment of biological response to climate change across Refuges. Following the model developed for the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) (Monahan et al., Ecosphere, in prep), we will calculate the historical range of variability and trends in the onset of spring for each NWRS unit. |
