Opportunity Information: Apply for N62473 18 2 0017
The grant opportunity titled Care and Rehabilitation of Injured, Ill and Orphaned Wildlife (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 18 2 0017) is a Department of Defense effort administered through the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 12.300). The central purpose is to ensure that injured, sick, or orphaned terrestrial wildlife encountered in connection with Navy activities receive professional rehabilitation services that meet all applicable state and federal legal requirements. Marine mammals are explicitly excluded, so the work focuses on birds and other land-based wildlife species.
The selected recipient is expected to be a properly licensed wildlife rehabilitation agency or organization capable of taking in, treating, rehabilitating, and when appropriate, releasing wildlife back to suitable habitat. In addition to hands-on animal care, the Navy is looking for the provider to make reasonable efforts to identify likely causes of injury or mortality when they can be determined, such as trauma, poisoning, disease, entanglement, predation, or human-caused impacts. A key deliverable is reporting: the rehabilitation provider must report outcomes to the Navy for each animal handled, which typically means documenting intake details, species identification, condition at admission, treatment actions, disposition (released, transferred, died, euthanized), and any notable findings about cause of injury or death when identifiable.
The workload is described as approximately 100 animals over a 12-month period, indicating an ongoing, on-call style service arrangement rather than a one-time event. That volume implies the awardee should have adequate staffing, veterinary access or oversight as required by law, appropriate facilities for holding and treatment, capacity for triage and species-appropriate husbandry, and established protocols for recordkeeping and compliance. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the Navy may expect active coordination during the performance period (for example, communication about intakes, reporting formats, and any required coordination for transport, release locations, or case follow-up), rather than a fully hands-off grant relationship.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any applicant type as a baseline, although the actual ability to perform hinges on being licensed and legally authorized to conduct wildlife rehabilitation in the relevant jurisdiction and in compliance with state and federal regulations. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $8,250, suggesting a relatively small program focused on direct services and straightforward reporting rather than large-scale research or facility development. The opportunity was originally posted on Aug 13, 2018, with an original closing date of Sep 14, 2018.Apply for N62473 18 2 0017
