Project Title: A Comparison of Natural and Manmade Fragmentation Effects within Three Pollination Networks of Erigeron
Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential research partners for a project to be funded by the Engineering Research Development Center (ERDC) which investigates the dynamics and topology of bipartite pollination networks with a focus on 3 species of Erigeron on Fort Huachuca, AZ. The project is expected to be funded for the period of 2009-2012. Approximately $30,000 is expected to be available for each year of 2010 and 2011 and $18,000 in 2012 to support a research partner. For more detailed information, please download the complete document.
It is that time of year again when the National Park Service will compete a modest amount of funding for small projects through our CPCESU Budget Call. We estimate that between $50,000 and $60,000 will be available this year for these projects. We will do our best to spread our limited funds across the Colorado Plateau parks to address urgent and emerging issues, and provide funding for resource needs and opportunities that do not fit ranking criteria and funding cycles for other NPS funds. We also encourage you to use CPCESU funds to leverage and augment existing funds. Proposals must be submitted electronically using the Proposal Template (link below) on or before Friday, January 15, 2010. Late proposals will not be accepted.
Proposal Focus Areas:
Climate change impacts on cultural resources
Traditional/indigenous ecological knowledge
Sustainability and “greening” of the park
Collaboration with Tribes
Education projects to improve disabled accessibility to park resources (e.g., can be online access or physical access, development of Podcasts)
Projects in all areas will be considered, but those focusing on the above areas will be given higher priority.
