Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Study of Life Biology of Island Fox, San Clemente Island, CA" was a U.S. Navy cooperative agreement released by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support applied natural resources research on the island fox (Urocyon littoralis) population on San Clemente Island (SCI), California. The central goal was to generate practical, management-focused data on juvenile fox survival and mortality, while also carrying out disease-prevention actions through vaccination. In plain terms, the Navy was looking to fund a partner to help answer why young foxes live or die on SCI and to reduce the risk that a disease outbreak could threaten the population, especially in ways that could complicate or constrain Navy readiness activities.
The project emphasized two connected needs. First, it sought detailed field data on juvenile survivorship rates and the specific causes of juvenile mortality, framed around real operational and conservation constraints on SCI. The announcement explicitly linked this work to management challenges and the requirement for "no net loss" to U.S. Navy readiness activities, meaning the research was intended to support wildlife management approaches that protect the island fox while allowing Navy training and operations to continue without additional restrictions driven by unmanaged species impacts. Second, the agreement required vaccination of island foxes against rabies and canine distemper, recognizing that introduction of these diseases could have severe population-level consequences in an isolated island setting. The vaccination component was essentially a preventative safeguard to keep disease from becoming a new threat to the species on SCI.
The Navy intended to use the resulting information in two main ways: (a) to improve understanding of the current status and trajectory of the San Clemente Island fox population, and (b) to build sound, defensible management strategies that maintain a self-sustaining population over time. A key phrase in the opportunity was the need for "sufficient juvenile recruitment," which highlights that long-term population stability depends heavily on young foxes surviving to adulthood. By focusing directly on juvenile survival and mortality drivers, the work was aimed at identifying limiting factors and guiding interventions that increase recruitment and resilience.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during project execution compared with a standard grant. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources activity category and referenced CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). NAVFAC expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling both listed as $246,491, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Eligibility was broad across nongovernmental and academic sectors. Eligible applicants included 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education under that specific category), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities as clarified in the full announcement. The notice also included an important restriction: under 32 CFR 34.18, no fee and/or profit would be authorized or paid under the cooperative agreement, which is a key budgeting and accounting consideration for applicants that typically rely on fee or profit structures.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on June 30, 2010, with key dates showing an original closing date of August 2, 2010 at 1600 PST, later amended so that offers were due by 1600 PST on August 5, 2010. The record shows an archive date of September 1, 2010. 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.
Overall, the opportunity funded a focused mix of wildlife population monitoring and proactive disease management, designed to produce actionable findings for sustaining the island fox on San Clemente Island while supporting the Navy's operational requirement to avoid readiness impacts associated with wildlife management issues.

What species and location are the focus of the work?
The project focused on the island fox (Urocyon littoralis) population on San Clemente Island (SCI), California.
What were the two main needs this project was designed to address?
The project emphasized (1) collecting detailed field data on juvenile survivorship rates and specific causes of juvenile mortality, and (2) vaccinating island foxes to reduce the risk of serious disease outbreaks.
Why did the Navy emphasize juvenile survival and mortality?
The opportunity highlighted the importance of "sufficient juvenile recruitment," meaning long-term population stability depends heavily on juveniles surviving to adulthood. By identifying why young foxes live or die, the work could guide interventions that improve recruitment and resilience.
