Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled REHABILITATION OF INJURED BIRDS, SAN DIEGO, CA (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 12 R REHAB) is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, and it is intended to support hands-on wildlife rehabilitation services connected to U.S. Navy and related installations in the San Diego area. NAVFAC anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount and maximum award ceiling of $6,540, and the announcement stated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The core purpose of the agreement is to ensure professional care for injured, sick, or orphaned birds and other terrestrial wildlife found in connection with San Diego area installations. The work must be performed by a properly licensed wildlife rehabilitation agency or organization, and all activities have to comply with applicable state and federal laws. The scope explicitly excludes marine mammals and also excludes threatened and endangered species, meaning the supported rehabilitation work is focused on non-listed terrestrial wildlife (including birds) rather than federally protected endangered taxa or marine wildlife that typically fall under different regulatory frameworks and response networks.
In practical terms, the funded rehabilitation services may involve immediate triage and stabilization as well as continuing care. The announcement describes allowable rehabilitation actions broadly, including feeding and supportive care, medical tests and treatment, administration of medications, and when warranted, humane euthanasia. It also covers proper disposal where appropriate. In addition to direct animal care, the opportunity emphasizes an installation-relevant applied research and reporting component: the recipient is expected to identify causes of mortality and injury affecting wildlife at San Diego area installations. That can include documenting patterns such as collisions, predation, habitat-related stressors, or other human-influenced hazards on or near facilities, with the implication that these findings could inform improved management practices and reduce future wildlife injuries.
A notable boundary in the scope is that transportation of injured animals to the rehabilitation agency or facility is not included under this cooperative agreement; instead, transport would be handled through a separate agreement. That distinction matters operationally because the award is aimed at treatment and rehabilitation capacity and associated cause-of-injury documentation, rather than the logistics of field pickup and transfer.
Eligibility was limited to two main applicant categories: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations holding IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted and created on July 17, 2012, with proposals due by 4:00 PM local time on August 17, 2012, and it was archived on September 16, 2012. The listing also references CFDA number 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), aligning with the applied, installation-focused information gathering on injury and mortality causes in addition to the direct rehabilitation services.
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.
