Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Conservation Research of San Joaquin Kangaroo Rat, NAS Lemoore, CA" is a discretionary federal funding notice issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support targeted conservation research on the San Joaquin kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides). The work is focused specifically on Research Management Area 5 (RMA5) at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California. The stated purpose is practical and outcome-driven: generate and apply research that helps stabilize the existing on-base population and reduces the likelihood that the species will be extirpated (locally eliminated) from the installation. In other words, the project is meant to produce actionable conservation results in a defined management area, rather than broad or purely academic study.
This funding is offered as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which usually signals that the federal agency expects to remain actively involved during the project. That can mean coordination on study design, access to the site, data sharing expectations, and alignment with installation management needs and compliance obligations. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 12.300, identified as Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which reinforces that the effort sits at the intersection of research and applied conservation management.
NAVFAC anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling are both listed as $72,075, indicating a single project with a maximum budget at that level and no expectation of multiple tiers of awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be competitive or eligible.
Eligibility is limited to organizations positioned to carry out scientific research and conservation work: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when they are applying in their nonprofit capacity). This eligibility set suggests the agency was looking for a research-capable team, likely with experience in small mammal ecology, endangered species management, field methods, and data analysis, and capable of working within the operational constraints of an active military installation.
Key dates show this was a time-bound, single-cycle competition in 2012. The opportunity was posted and created on March 31, 2012, with proposals due by 4:00 PM local time on May 1, 2012. The archive date was May 31, 2012, which typically indicates when the notice would no longer be actively listed for submission after the closing period. The Funding Opportunity Number is N62473 12 R KRAT, which serves as the primary identifier for referencing the solicitation in correspondence and submissions.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159. This contact detail implies the solicitation may have included additional technical requirements, submission instructions, or site access considerations not captured in the short synopsis, which is common for research projects occurring on secure federal property.
