Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Injured Wildlife Research and Rescue, San Diego Navy Lands, San Diego CA" is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support wildlife injury research and hands-on rescue operations on Navy property in the San Diego area. The project is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the Navy expects to have an active role in coordinating or overseeing aspects of the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal involvement. The work is classified under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), signaling that the effort is meant to generate practical, usable findings while also carrying out immediate field response services.
The core purpose of the agreement is twofold. First, the awardee is expected to research and identify the causes of wildlife injuries occurring at San Diego area Navy installations. That implies collecting information on injured animals found on or associated with the bases, documenting injury types, and analyzing patterns that may point to specific hazards or recurring causes (for example, vehicle strikes, infrastructure-related entanglement, predator interactions, exposure to contaminants, or other site-specific risks). Second, the awardee must provide rescue, stabilization support as appropriate, and transportation for injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife discovered in these locations. The announcement makes a clear boundary around the scope by excluding marine mammals, meaning the rescue and research focus is on non-marine-mammal wildlife species consistent with applicable legal authority and local responsibilities.
All work is to be performed at the San Diego Bay Metro Naval Base installations, specifically Naval Base Coronado (NBC), Naval Base San Diego (NBSD), and Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL). In practice, that means the project is geographically concentrated and operationally tied to day-to-day conditions on those bases, where the awardee would need to coordinate access, response procedures, and any reporting requirements in a way that aligns with base operations and security protocols. Because the opportunity explicitly requires compliance with applicable State and Federal laws, applicants would need to be prepared to operate within California wildlife regulations and relevant federal wildlife protections, including permitting and handling rules for protected species, rehabilitation standards, and documentation expectations.
The funding profile is small and fixed: the estimated total funding is $6,525, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $6,525, indicating NAVFAC planned a single, specific award amount rather than a range of possible budgets. Only one award was expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be considered. The opportunity was posted on May 20, 2010, with a closing date of June 21, 2010, and it was archived on July 21, 2010, indicating it is a historical opportunity rather than an open competition today.
Eligible applicants included a fairly broad set of organizations in the higher education and nonprofit space: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), and also nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (again, other than institutions of higher education). That eligibility list suggests NAVFAC was open to partnering with universities, research groups, wildlife rescue/rehabilitation organizations, and related entities that could credibly perform both the research component and the on-the-ground rescue/transport function.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159. The funding opportunity number associated with the announcement was N62473 10 R RESCUE, which would be the key reference identifier for tracking the notice or any related documentation.
