White-nose Syndrome Research Grants - FY2019

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is pleased to announce the availability of funding for research in 2019 to investigate issues and enact strategies related directly to the management of white-nose syndrome (WNS). The Service provides financial and technical assistance to non-governmental and university researchers, as well as state and local governments and Native American tribes, for the management of WNS and conservation of bats. Funded projects will investigate priority questions about WNS to improve our ability to manage the disease and implement management actions that will help to conserve affected and potentially vulnerable bat species.
