Opportunity Summary:
The SCI Loggerhead Shrike Release opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 10 R SCIREL) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command under the Natural Resources activity area. It supports a targeted wildlife management effort on San Clemente Island, California, focused on bolstering the island population of loggerhead shrikes through the release of captive-reared birds and follow-on on-site support. The project is specifically structured around releases occurring in calendar year 2010 and pairs the release work with active monitoring and supplemental feeding to improve post-release survival and establishment.
The core purpose of the agreement is straightforward: implement a 2010 release program with defined numeric goals and conduct the immediate management actions needed to give released birds the best chance to survive, settle, and reproduce. The required release targets include up to three adult breeding pairs, 25 to 30 juvenile shrikes, and an additional 6 to 8 single birds (either females or males) as needed. Those single birds are intended to be used strategically, either to match with wild shrikes that already hold established territories or to place individuals that are available from the captive breeding program in a way that supports territorial stability and pairing opportunities. In addition to the release activities, the agreement calls for supplemental feeding and appropriate monitoring at roughly ten to fifteen sites, with the final number depending on how successful the adult pair releases are. All 2010 release sites must be included in the feeding and monitoring plan.
Operationally, the work is island-based and field-intensive. The monitoring component implies routine site checks and tracking of outcomes at each release location, while supplemental feeding indicates an active management approach rather than a one-time release. Because this is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), applicants should expect substantial coordination with the sponsoring agency during planning and implementation, including alignment on release locations, timing, monitoring methods, and reporting expectations typical of federally supported natural resource projects.
Funding for the opportunity is listed at an estimated total of $394,066, with an award ceiling of $394,066, and the government anticipated making a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The CFDA number attached is 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which situates the effort within federally supported scientific and resource-management activities, even though the scope reads primarily as applied conservation implementation with measurable deliverables.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement was posted on February 9, 2010, with a very short turnaround: offers were due by 1400 PST on February 12, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on March 14, 2010. For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist, at 619-532-1159.
