Additional Information of Eligibility:
This is a notice of intent of a single source award to West Virgina University, Morgantown, WV.

This cooperator (West Virginia University) has extensive experience working with the NPS units in southern West Virginia, and extensive experience working with geology, vegetation and wildlife communities, and recreation and tourism studies around the Appalachian region.

The cooperator also has specific interest in working at New River Gorge National River (NERI).

Having this small team focused on the park and projects yields efficiencies that would not be achieved with other cooperators.

Selecting this research team was a natural outgrowth of a history of positive and mutually beneficial collaborations.

The research team has produced dozens of high quality products for NERI in a timely fashion, and with a high degree of collaboration.

They have expertise in the fields of geology, central Appalachian botany, non-vascular flora, and assessment of human recreational use, and have extensive knowledge of the park’s planning process, objectives, and goals.

In addition, these geologists, botanists, and social scientists have a working knowledge of park resources and have cooperated with park staff on other projects: Abandoned Mine Inventory (1988), Bat Inventory (2003), Allegheny woodrat study (2001), Hemlock Ecosystem Monitoring (2008), Mass-Movement in NERI (1999), Rimrock Pine Communities NERI (2007), and input to a River Use Plan (1985).

The extensive knowledge of WVU cooperator’s familiar with park resources will reduce or eliminate learning curve delays at the onset of the project.

Integration of personnel from several disciplines, all based at the same University and accustomed to collaborating with each other on projects, will result in considerable synergistic cost savings.

Not only will the interdisciplinary study design save on travel expenses, having the various disciplines working together on many aspects of the project will save time because there will be less confusion about who is doing what, where, and to achieve what project purpose.

Such enhancement of communication will lead to insights resulting in more refined and sensitive data collection, analysis, and interpretation, thus contributing to more valuable final products.
