Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Project RICCR 65 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00244) was a one-time, competitive federal funding announcement administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.677, Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities. It was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would carry out the work with substantial involvement from the federal agency rather than operating fully independently as in a standard grant. The opportunity was funded under Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief authorities (Public Law 113-2) and was designed specifically to support ecological recovery and resilience projects in coastal systems impacted by the storm and related vulnerabilities.
The purpose of this particular award was to restore and strengthen salt marsh resiliency and overall estuarine function in targeted Rhode Island watersheds. The work focus was on two primary drainage areas: the Narrow River drainage, spanning the towns of South Kingstown and Narragansett, and the Maidford River drainage in Middletown, Rhode Island. In practical terms, the project scope centered on improving the ability of salt marshes and connected estuarine habitats to withstand and recover from coastal storms, flooding, erosion, and sea level rise pressures, while also supporting the ecological services these habitats provide, such as nursery and foraging areas for fish and wildlife, water filtration, shoreline stabilization, and attenuation of storm surge and wave energy.
Funding for the opportunity was structured as a single award. The expected number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,451,300. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $1,451,300, indicating the agency anticipated making one cooperative agreement at that exact funding level for the defined project. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers to participation and allows eligible entities to propose the work without needing to secure non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility for applicants was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant organization, subject to any additional clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The announcement was posted on June 20, 2014, and it closed on July 19, 2014, with the archive date following immediately after closing (July 20, 2014). Interested applicants were directed to the full opportunity details on Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or announcement-related questions was Cheryle Lawrence (cherylelawrence@fws.gov).
