About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, is seeking a cooperative agreement to monitor wading bird populations in the Florida Everglades. The project aims to estimate population densities, breeding success, and colony characteristics of Great Egrets, White Ibis, Roseate Spoonbills, and Snowy Egrets in Water Conservation Areas 1, 2, and 3, with additional monitoring in Everglades National Park. Applicants must be members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) in the Gulf Coast and South Florida-Caribbean regions and must hold a PhD in Biology, Ecology, or Environmental Science with direct experience monitoring nesting wading birds in the Everglades. The evaluation will focus on technical merit, capability to meet project objectives, and alignment with USACE missions. Statements of Interest are due by 2:00 PM Central Time on July 27, 2025, with a 30-day posting period on Grants.gov for review.
The base award is approximately $137,273 for the initial 12-month performance period, with potential additional funding for optional tasks in subsequent years. The agreement structure allows for up to four additional 12-month follow-on periods contingent on funding availability. The place of performance will be in the Florida Everglades, specifically targeting Water Conservation Areas 1, 2, and 3, as well as Everglades National Park. Interested parties can direct questions to Maria Lopez (Grants Specialist) at Maria.E.Lopez@usace.army.mil or Niki Baker (Project Manager) at Nicole.D.Baker@usace.army.mil.
