Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Monitoring of Trace Elements in Mussels at Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach, CA," was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support continued environmental monitoring at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach in Seal Beach, California. The core purpose is straightforward: maintain an ongoing program that measures levels of trace elements in mussels, using mussels as a practical indicator species for tracking potential metal and trace-element contamination in the local marine environment around the installation. By continuing the monitoring program rather than starting a new one, the announcement signals that prior sampling and analysis likely exist and that the Navy is aiming to preserve a consistent long-term dataset that can detect changes over time.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating monitoring locations, approving work plans, aligning methods with installation needs, or reviewing results as they are produced. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding under the Natural Resources activity area, and it is associated with CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, reflecting a scientific monitoring focus even though the work is applied and compliance-oriented in practice. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount and an award ceiling both set at $15,897, meaning the program was scoped as a small, targeted monitoring effort rather than a large research project. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
Eligibility was open to a limited set of organizations: nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. In other words, qualified universities and certain nonprofits could apply, positioning the work for organizations with scientific sampling and analytical capability, established quality assurance practices, and experience producing defensible environmental data.
Key timing details were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on August 18, 2012. The original closing date was September 17, 2012 at 4:00 PM local time, but it was subsequently updated to a current closing date of September 18, 2012 at 10:00 AM local time. The archive date was October 18, 2012, indicating it was no longer active after that point. The funding opportunity number was N62473 12 R MUSSEL, which would be used to track the solicitation in submissions and correspondence.
