Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Research and Manage Endangered Plant Species, Naval Base Point Loma, San Diego, CA," was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources management and applied research. The central goal is to support research and on-the-ground management actions for the endangered plant species Chorizanthe orcuttiana at Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) in San Diego, California, with the intent of improving the long-term viability of the species on the installation.
The work described is a mix of planning, field-oriented ecology, and habitat management. One major task is to use existing information about soils, vegetation, and topography from areas where the plant currently occurs to identify, delineate, and map additional areas on Point Loma that could potentially support population expansion. In practice, this means synthesizing available environmental data (for example, soil type and condition, plant community associations, slope/aspect, and related site characteristics) to produce a map or spatial dataset of suitable or promising habitat where the species could expand naturally or where restoration and enhancement might be most effective.
A second major emphasis is pollination ecology and the role of arthropods. The opportunity calls for investigating how the arthropods and pollinators already documented at NBPL overlap with pollinators known to service Chorizanthe species more broadly. The intention is to identify which pollinator groups are likely important, what habitat features or resources they need, and whether there are constraints that could limit pollinator availability (such as seasonal resource gaps, habitat fragmentation, limited nesting substrates, or incompatible management practices). This portion of the work can be completed through literature review and synthesis, field work, or a combination of both, depending on what is most appropriate and what information gaps exist.
A third component is direct monitoring and enhancement of existing populations and habitat at NBPL. This includes tracking the status and trends of current occurrences, assessing habitat condition, implementing measures to improve habitat quality where needed, and then analyzing monitoring results to better define the species ecological requirements on Point Loma. The overall intent is not just to collect data, but to translate findings into practical management insights that improve understanding of where the plant thrives, what limits it, and what actions best support persistence and potential expansion.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the opportunity was posted on July 24, 2011, with a creation date of August 16, 2011. Proposals were due by 1600 Pacific Time on August 25, 2011, and the announcement was later archived on September 24, 2011. The estimated total funding was $56,648, and the award ceiling was also $56,648, with an expectation of a single award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). Eligible applicants included 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education.

Where will the work take place?
The work is intended for Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) on Point Loma in San Diego, California.
Which species is the focus of this opportunity?
The project focuses on the endangered plant species Chorizanthe orcuttiana.
What kinds of activities does the scope of work include?
The work described is a mix of planning, field-oriented ecology, and habitat management. It includes habitat suitability mapping, pollination and arthropod-related investigation, and direct monitoring and enhancement of existing populations and habitat.
What is the habitat suitability mapping task expected to do?
One major task is to use existing information about soils, vegetation, and topography from areas where the plant currently occurs to identify, delineate, and map additional areas on Point Loma that could potentially support population expansion.
What kinds of data are expected to inform habitat mapping?
The mapping effort is expected to synthesize available environmental data such as soil type and condition, plant community associations, slope/aspect, and related site characteristics, and then produce a map or spatial dataset of suitable or promising habitat.
What is the intended outcome of the mapping component?
The intent is to identify promising habitat where the species could expand naturally or where restoration and enhancement might be most effective.
What is the pollination ecology component about?
A second major emphasis is pollination ecology and the role of arthropods. The opportunity calls for investigating how the arthropods and pollinators already documented at NBPL overlap with pollinators known to service Chorizanthe species more broadly.
What questions is the pollinator work supposed to help answer?
The intent is to identify which pollinator groups are likely important, what habitat features or resources they need, and whether there are constraints that could limit pollinator availability (such as seasonal resource gaps, habitat fragmentation, limited nesting substrates, or incompatible management practices).
Does the opportunity require field work for the pollination/arthropod component?
Not necessarily. This portion of the work can be completed through literature review and synthesis, field work, or a combination of both, depending on what is most appropriate and what information gaps exist.
What does the monitoring and enhancement component include?
A third component is direct monitoring and enhancement of existing populations and habitat at NBPL. This includes tracking the status and trends of current occurrences, assessing habitat condition, implementing measures to improve habitat quality where needed, and analyzing monitoring results to better define the species ecological requirements on Point Loma.
Is the project focused only on data collection?
No. The overall intent is not just to collect data, but to translate findings into practical management insights that improve understanding of where the plant thrives, what limits it, and what actions best support persistence and potential expansion.
When was the opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted on July 24, 2011.
What is the creation date listed for the announcement?
The creation date is August 16, 2011.
