Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Invertebrate Species Survey at Naval Base Point Loma San Diego, California" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 08 R NBPL), was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. The core purpose of the project is to carry out invertebrate surveys on Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) in San Diego, California, specifically to meet requirements laid out in the installation's 2002 Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP). In practical terms, the work is focused on collecting field-based information about invertebrate species present on the base, which supports the Navy's natural resources planning, compliance responsibilities, and ongoing stewardship of biological resources on federally managed lands.
The funding activity falls under the Natural Resources category, and the associated CFDA number listed is 12.300, "Basic and Applied Scientific Research." The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $53,300 and an award ceiling of $53,300, indicating the award was expected to fund one project up to that amount rather than multiple smaller grants. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind resources as a condition of eligibility, which can simplify budgeting and make the opportunity more accessible to organizations that do not have dedicated matching funds.
Eligibility was limited to three main applicant categories: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education, which were already covered in the first two categories). That eligibility profile suggests the Navy was aiming to engage academic or nonprofit scientific expertise, likely because invertebrate surveys often require specialized taxonomic knowledge, standardized survey methods, careful documentation, and in some cases curation or verification of specimens and records.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on September 16, 2008, and it had a very short application window, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2008. The archive date was October 23, 2008, meaning the solicitation was no longer active after that point and would have been retained only for reference. The abbreviated timeline implies the agency may have had an immediate planning or compliance-driven need, or that the solicitation was part of a narrowly scoped project intended to begin quickly.
Administrative contact information was provided for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically. The point of contact listed was Joseph Brown, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at (619) 532-1266. This indicates the Navy expected interested applicants to consult the full announcement for technical scope, deliverables, schedule, reporting requirements, data standards, and coordination expectations typical of a cooperative agreement, where substantial agency involvement is more common than in a standard grant.
