Implement treatments, management tools, and habitat conservation strategies that help WNS-affected bat populations to recover from the impacts of WNS; and,
Support innovative and collaborative research leading directly to the deployment of treatments and management for WNS and WNS-affected species.
Proposals are due Thursday, September 19, 2024 by 11:59 PM Eastern Time
