The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this funding opportunity to a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant is for implementing a national-scale effort focused on tracking bats and coronaviruses via the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). The work will establish an intense wildlife coronavirus surveillance effort, conducted collaboratively with Federal, State, Tribal, and non-governmental organization partners. Data collected from coronavirus surveillance in bats and their environment will be utilized to model SARS-CoV-2 occurrence patterns, enhancing understanding of wildlife and environmental roles in human COVID-19 infection dynamics. This initiative aims to inform critical risk assessments on viral transfer between human and wildlife populations, thereby facilitating proactive measures to prevent or minimize future disease outbreaks.
