Opportunity Summary:
DOI Project #PMH 15 is a Hurricane Sandy disaster relief funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support tidal marsh restoration monitoring at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Milton, Delaware. The announcement describes a single-source cooperative agreement intended specifically for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), through its Delaware Coastal Programs (DCP). The overall purpose is to fund collaboratively developed, high-priority work in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy, with an emphasis on restoring environmental resources and strengthening coastal resiliency.
The project focus is monitoring tied to a large-scale tidal marsh restoration effort at Prime Hook NWR. The refuge includes wetlands that were historically managed as freshwater impoundments, and those areas were heavily disrupted by dune breaches and storm-driven overwash during recent storms, including Hurricane Sandy. By restoring tidal influence and marsh processes, the restoration aims to rebuild natural ecosystem functions, improve the stability and resilience of the wetland landscape, and enhance habitat quality for fish and wildlife species that depend on healthy coastal marshes. The monitoring supported by this award is meant to provide multifaceted information about how the restored marsh is performing over time, helping managers track progress, evaluate outcomes, and adjust restoration strategies as needed.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, indicating that FWS expects to remain substantially involved in coordination and oversight as the work is carried out. The funding is provided under Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief authority (Public Law 113-02) and is associated with CFDA number 15.677 (Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities, FWS). The opportunity anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $585,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $585,000, which effectively sets the award amount at that level. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
The public posting dates show the opportunity was posted and created on March 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2014, and an archive date of April 21, 2014. While the eligibility field is marked as "unrestricted," the narrative makes clear that the intent is a single-source award to DNREC DCP, meaning it is not designed as a competitive, multi-applicant grant round but rather as a targeted assistance action for a named partner.
For applicants or members of the public seeking the full announcement details, the listing references Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00126 and includes a point of contact at FWS: Arnold Zinan (413-253-8528, arnoldzinan@fws.gov), with the note that he can help if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically.
