Excerpt from the official synopsis on Grants.gov (shortened; read the full text on the official listing):

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) invites proposals from Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Great Rivers network partners for novel research focusing on the development and application of Bayesian statistical methods. This funding opportunity seeks to advance methodologies for analyzing passive bat acoustic monitoring data, specifically for estimating species occurrence and relative abundance at un-surveyed locations and assessing their associations with meaningful environmental predictors. Proposed methods should consider accounting for spatial correlation and integrating of multiple observer information to address the misclassification process inherent in acoustic data. Passive acoustic monitoring represents a cost-effective and technologically advanced approach for collecting extensive biological observations. …
