This opportunity is only open to state agencies and no more than one award will be granted to each state. Priority will be given to states that have confirmed WNS or the causative fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), and adjacent states. However all states are encouraged to apply.

Pd has also been detected on bats in Minnesota and Iowa. The following adjacent states are now considered most vulnerable to the future spread of Pd and WNS: North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Rhode Island.
The Service has targeted up to $1.5 million for the funding opportunity in 2014 to help build state capacity that will assist with the management and control of WNS.
