About this opportunity

The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is seeking research proposals through a cooperative agreement to conduct comprehensive demographic, movement, and habitat studies of the endangered Snail Kite in the Everglades, Florida. The project aims to estimate Snail Kite survival rates, reproductive parameters, population size, population growth rate, and movement patterns while assessing the impact of hydrology on the species. Applicants must be members of the Gulf Coast, Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast, or South Florida-Caribbean Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Regions. At this stage, only a Statement of Interest is required, with a strict submission deadline of 2:00 PM Central Time on August 8, 2025. The research falls under the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Natural Resources on Military Installations program (CFDA 12.005), and potential recipients must comply with NIST SP 800-171 security requirements.

The base period of performance is 12 months, with potential for four additional 12-month follow-on periods contingent on fund availability. Approximately $448,050 is available for the base period, with possible additional funding for optional tasks in subsequent years. The project will be conducted in the Everglades, Florida, focusing on the ecological research and environmental management of the Snail Kite habitat. Interested organizations must demonstrate expertise in wildlife research, ecological studies, and comprehensive environmental assessment, with a particular focus on endangered species and habitat dynamics in wetland ecosystems.
