Opportunity Summary:
The SCI Loggerhead Monitoring grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command to support continued field monitoring and recovery-focused research on the San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike population on San Clemente Island (SCI). The core intent is to track the species status over time by documenting where shrikes occur on the island, how many are present, and whether the population is increasing, stable, or declining. The work is framed as an ongoing, applied natural resources effort that directly feeds into species recovery planning and on-the-ground management decisions.
The agreement lays out five primary objectives. First, the recipient is expected to estimate the minimum population size of shrikes on SCI, essentially establishing a defensible count or baseline of individuals present during monitoring periods. Second, the project must identify breeding pairs and evaluate reproductive performance, which typically means determining how many pairs are nesting, how many nesting attempts occur, and how successful those attempts are (for example, eggs laid, chicks hatched, chicks fledged, and other measures of productivity). Third, the project requires banding and follow-up monitoring across life stages and categories of birds, including chicks, fledglings, breeding adults, solitary adults, and individuals released as part of recovery actions. This objective emphasizes individual-level tracking to understand survival, site fidelity, dispersal, and breeding turnover over time. Fourth, the monitoring must extend into the non-breeding season by identifying winter territories or describing movement patterns of wintering adults and juveniles, helping managers understand seasonal habitat use, shifts in distribution, and potential threats occurring outside the breeding period. Fifth, the awardee is expected to provide technical assistance to other parts of the broader recovery program, including documenting the number and distribution of predators across occupied shrike habitat, recording notable behavioral patterns observed during monitoring, helping with supplemental feeding of the wild population if and when an approved feeding protocol is in place, and assisting with capture or transport of wild eggs or chicks when needed for inclusion in a captive population program. Taken together, these tasks reflect a mix of population monitoring, demographic research, and direct support to management interventions.
Funding for the opportunity is listed at an estimated total of $445,987, with an award ceiling of $445,987 and an expectation of a single award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement or coordination during the project rather than a hands-off grant structure. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which reduces the need for applicants to bring non-federal funds to meet a match threshold.
Eligibility is limited to certain organization types: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The announcement was posted and created on January 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of January 13, 2010, and an archive date of February 12, 2010, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and is now archived. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159.

- Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education
- Nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education)
What species and location does the work focus on?
The work focuses on the San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike population on San Clemente Island (SCI).
What are the primary objectives of the agreement?
The agreement lays out five primary objectives that combine population monitoring, demographic research, and support for management interventions.
Objective 1: What does it mean to estimate the minimum population size?
The recipient is expected to estimate a defensible minimum count or baseline of shrikes present on SCI during monitoring periods.
Objective 2: What breeding information must be collected?
The project must identify breeding pairs and evaluate reproductive performance. This typically includes determining how many pairs are nesting, the number of nesting attempts, and how successful those attempts are, using measures such as eggs laid, chicks hatched, and chicks fledged.
Objective 3: What banding and follow-up monitoring is required?
The project requires banding and follow-up monitoring across multiple life stages and categories of birds, including chicks, fledglings, breeding adults, solitary adults, and individuals released as part of recovery actions. This individual-level tracking is intended to support understanding of survival, site fidelity, dispersal, and breeding turnover over time.
Objective 4: Does monitoring include the non-breeding season?
Yes. Monitoring must extend into the non-breeding season by identifying winter territories or describing movement patterns of wintering adults and juveniles. This helps managers understand seasonal habitat use, shifts in distribution, and potential threats outside the breeding period.
Objective 5: What kinds of technical assistance are expected?
The awardee is expected to provide technical assistance to other parts of the broader recovery program, including:
- Documenting the number and distribution of predators across occupied shrike habitat
- Recording notable behavioral patterns observed during monitoring
- Helping with supplemental feeding of the wild population if and when an approved feeding protocol is in place
- Assisting with capture or transport of wild eggs or chicks when needed for inclusion in a captive population program
Does this work directly support recovery planning and management?
Yes. The opportunity describes the work as an ongoing, applied natural resources effort that directly feeds into species recovery planning and on-the-ground management decisions.
What does the posting and closing timeline indicate?
The announcement was posted and created on January 5, 2010. The original and current closing date is January 13, 2010, and the archive date is February 12, 2010. This indicates the opportunity was time-limited and is now archived.
