Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Data Integration of Projects SA 24, 63, 67 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00391) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Region 5 discretionary funding notice to support data integration work connected to three broader Department of the Interior Hurricane Sandy mitigation and restoration efforts. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FWS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity is tied to PL 113-2 Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief (HSDR) funding under CFDA 15.677, which supports Hurricane Sandy disaster relief activities.
The purpose of the funding is to strengthen decision support for post-Sandy restoration and long-term resiliency planning by integrating and organizing conservation and environmental datasets that are needed across multiple projects. Specifically, the work supports: Project #24, which focuses on decision support for restoring and conserving tidal wetland habitats and species under increasing storm impacts and sea level rise; Project #67, which similarly targets beach habitats and beach-dependent species facing storms and sea level rise; and Project #63, which addresses flood resiliency and improved standards for culverts and road-stream crossings while restoring aquatic connectivity. In practical terms, this opportunity is about making sure the data products that inform these projects are assembled, aggregated, and made usable in ways that extend beyond a single site or study, helping planners and resource managers compare, prioritize, and coordinate actions across landscapes and jurisdictions.
FWS indicates it intends to make a sole-source award to the Conservation Biology Institute (CBI). Although the eligibility field is listed as “unrestricted,” the narrative makes clear that the agency’s intent is to fund CBI directly without competition for this specific action. The justification provided is CBI’s specialized scientific expertise and its established role in creating important conservation datasets and producing high-quality data aggregations for different topics and geographies. A key component of the value CBI brings is its use of Data Basin, a science-based mapping and analysis platform used for sharing datasets and supporting learning, research, and environmental stewardship. The implication is that the deliverables are not just internal project files, but organized, shareable data resources that can be accessed and reused for broader conservation planning and restoration decision-making.
The total funding amount is fixed at $27,500, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $27,500, and FWS expects to make one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on August 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 19, 2014, and it was archived on September 13, 2014.
