Opportunity Summary:
The "Population Monitoring of San Clemente Island Shrike" opportunity is a U.S. Navy-sponsored natural resources grant focused on tracking and assessing the status of the San Clemente Island shrike population. It is offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) under a discretionary funding program and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Navy expects to be actively involved in the project during performance rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The grant falls under CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, signaling that the work is intended to generate scientifically credible monitoring data that can support management decisions and compliance needs tied to the Navy's stewardship responsibilities.
The program anticipates making a single award with a total award ceiling of $382,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, so applicants are not expected to contribute non-federal dollars as a condition of eligibility. Only one award being planned suggests the Navy is looking for one lead organization to run a cohesive monitoring effort, likely including fieldwork logistics, standardized survey methods, data analysis, and reporting that can feed directly into installation-level natural resource management.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities when applying as nonprofits). In practical terms, this frames the competition around universities, research institutes, and conservation-focused nonprofits that can demonstrate the scientific expertise and field capacity needed for rigorous wildlife population monitoring in a potentially remote or operationally restricted setting like San Clemente Island.
The posting timeline indicates this was a short-fuse opportunity. The notice was posted on December 19, 2007, created on December 20, 2007, and had an original closing date of December 29, 2007, later adjusted to December 27, 2007. The opportunity was archived on January 26, 2008. This tight window implies that prospective applicants likely needed to already have relevant experience, established survey protocols, and the ability to mobilize quickly, which is common for specialized monitoring efforts where the sponsor is trying to align work with seasonal field conditions or near-term management requirements.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Joseph Brown, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at (619) 532-1266. This contact role suggests he would have been the primary administrator for procedural questions related to the cooperative agreement and submission logistics, rather than the scientific lead for technical questions.
In summary, this NAVFAC cooperative agreement opportunity sought a qualified academic or nonprofit partner to carry out structured population monitoring for the San Clemente Island shrike, producing defensible scientific information for Navy natural resource management. It offered up to $382,000 for a single award, required no matching funds, and was aimed at organizations with the specialized capability to conduct wildlife monitoring under federal installation conditions and timelines.
