Opportunity Summary:
The HSDR Projects SA 24 and 67 Increase Resiliency of Tidal Wetland Habitats opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00420) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement using Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief funds authorized under Public Law 113-2. The focus of the work is not simply producing new science, but making existing and ongoing science usable in real decision settings, especially where coastal communities and agencies are planning for habitat resilience after major storm impacts. The core purpose is "science delivery" for tidal wetland resilience efforts, meaning the program is aimed at getting decision support tools, mapping products, and monitoring results into the hands of planners, managers, and other decision makers in the right formats and at the right geographic scales to support real-world actions.
A central feature of this opportunity is its partnership structure. The award is intended to be implemented through collaboration with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO), its fiscal agent (the Coastal States Stewardship Foundation), and related regional networks. In practice, that means the work is expected to connect technical information with the regional coordination systems that coastal states and partners already use, helping translate scientific outputs into planning and management applications at regional, state, and local levels. The description emphasizes building and strengthening the existing capacity to work with communities, which implies outreach, coordination, and support functions that make information easier to find, interpret, and apply, rather than leaving it in isolated reports or highly technical formats.
Financially, the opportunity was structured as a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $340,000, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $340,000, indicating a one-time, fixed-size cooperative agreement rather than a range of potential award amounts. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for participation and allowing recipients to focus resources on delivering the science-support outcomes. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), although the opportunity text signals a clear preference for implementing the science delivery goal specifically through the MARCO partnership framework and its established fiscal and network arrangements.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 29, 2014, with an application deadline of September 12, 2014, and it was archived shortly afterward on September 15, 2014. The CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.677 (Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities, FWS). Applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Cheryle Lawrence at cherylelawrence@fws.gov, and the listing referenced Grants.gov for full details.
