Opportunity Summary:
The SCI LOGGERHEAD PREDATOR MGMT opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 10 R SCIPRM) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command to support natural resources work on San Clemente Island, California. The central goal is to reduce, or "depress," populations of non-native predators so that loggerhead shrikes experience less predation pressure, especially during the breeding season when nests, eggs, and chicks are most vulnerable. In practical terms, the project is aimed at improving nesting success and overall survivorship of the island's loggerhead shrike population by directly addressing predation as a limiting factor.
A key expectation of the award is that the recipient will not only carry out predator management actions, but also investigate and document which predator species are responsible for depredation events. This includes identifying the predators involved at all known shrike nests where depredation occurs, as well as in cases where shrike predation is suspected more generally. The emphasis on predator identification is important because it helps clarify the relative impact of native versus non-native predators, which in turn informs where management effort is most justified and most likely to produce measurable conservation benefits. The work is therefore both operational (predator population reduction) and applied research/monitoring (determining predator identity and relative importance).
The program sits within CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency anticipates having substantial involvement during the project compared to a standard grant. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling of $616,775. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was limited to three types of organizations: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions already covered under the first two categories). The posting date and creation date were both February 9, 2010, and the solicitation had a very short turnaround: offers were due by 1400 PST on February 12, 2010, with the same date listed as the original and current closing date. The opportunity was archived on March 14, 2010.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159.
