This grant, offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Endangered Species Program, aims to provide vital assistance to state agencies to combat White-nose Syndrome (WNS). This includes addressing the disease’s spread, the resulting loss of cave bat populations, and the threat to federally listed bat species. The Service recognizes the crucial role of state agencies in public response, data collection for monitoring bat populations and disease progression, research activities, and implementing actions to curtail WNS. Funding will help states build capacity for this crisis. Priority is given to states most directly affected or susceptible, such as Alabama, New York, and Pennsylvania, or those with suggestive DNA detection. Grants are also available for other states with significant cave bat resources or demonstrated need.

| Description: | The goal of the White-nose Syndrome Grants to States is to provide needed assistance to state agencies in addressing the spread of WNS, the resultant loss of cave bat populations, and the threat to federally listed bat species. The Service acknowledges the key role of state agencies in addressing WNS, including responding to the public; collecting data to monitor bat populations and disease progression; engaging in research activities; and implementing actions to curtail the spread of WNS. The Endangered Species Program in Region 5 is responsible for leading the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service response and the allocation of funds and has determined that funding is needed for state agencies to help build their capacity to address this crisis. Priority may be given to states most directly affected, or susceptible to WNS, as determined by proximity to known affected sites. As of April 2, 2012, states confirmed with WNS are: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. Oklahoma has announced the detection of DNA suggestive of the causative fungus, Geomyces destructans, on bats within their borders. Therefore, states considered susceptible due to proximity include: Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Given that the rate and mode of spread of this disease is not fully understood, grants will also be available for states beyond these areas that have significant cave bat resources or a demonstrated need, should funding be available. |
