Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (DHS 14 ST 061 COE 001B) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Office of University Programs (OUP) solicitation seeking U.S. colleges and universities to serve specifically as a partner institution in a Coastal Resilience Center of Excellence. The intent is to build out a DHS-recognized research and development center focused on coastal resilience, with the partner institutions contributing expertise, research capacity, and project execution in support of DHS priorities in science, technology, and homeland security-related R&D.
A key point is that this is not the solicitation to lead the Center. DHS is running a separate, parallel Funding Opportunity Announcement for Center Lead proposals (FOA Number DHS 14 ST 061 COE 001A, posted on Grants.gov). Institutions responding to this Partner FOA are proposing themselves as collaborators that can be incorporated into the overall Center structure. DHS also makes clear that it may select and add individual project partners based on submissions received under either the Lead FOA or this Partner FOA, meaning partner selection can occur through multiple pathways depending on how DHS decides to assemble the final Center team.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination on research direction, milestones, reporting, and collaboration across the Center consortium), rather than a more hands-off grant. The activity category is science and technology and other research and development, aligning it with applied research, prototyping, modeling, decision support, or other technical work that improves preparedness and resilience in coastal environments.
In terms of funding, DHS anticipated making around three awards under this Partner opportunity. The estimated total funding available was $500,000, with individual awards expected to range from a $100,000 floor up to a $500,000 ceiling. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants were not required to bring non-federal matching funds to be considered compliant. The associated CFDA listing was 97.061 (Centers for Homeland Security).
The timeline for the opportunity was posted April 4, 2014, with an application deadline of July 3, 2014, and an archive date of August 2, 2014, indicating it is no longer accepting applications now but can be used as a reference for how DHS structured this Center build-out. An important restriction is included to avoid duplicate participation: principal investigators who are already listed as partners under a Center Lead application are not allowed to submit a separate application under this Partner FOA. This prevents the same PI from effectively applying twice for partner status through two different channels.
For applicants needing help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, DHS provided a point of contact: Shareef Prater, Grants Specialist (202-447-5903, shareef.prater@hq.dhs.gov). The administering office was DHS Office of Procurement Operations, Grants Division, with additional funding opportunity information available through the DHS S&T Office of University Programs.
