Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief, Project NE010" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00371) was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.677, Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities FWS. It focused on a single, specific restoration project: the Restoration of Round Hill Wetlands in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, to be carried out by the Massachusetts Department of Ecological Services (referenced as MADER in the listing). The funding instrument for this award was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or oversight), rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction.

This opportunity was designed as a one-award package with a fixed budget: the estimated total funding was $2,070,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also set at $2,070,000. In other words, it was structured as a single award for a single amount, rather than a competitive range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.

The activity category was listed as "Other," with an explanation referencing Public Law 113-2 (PL 113-2), which is the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013. That law provided significant supplemental appropriations tied to disaster relief and recovery efforts following Hurricane Sandy, including funds directed to federal agencies for restoration, resilience, and related recovery actions. In practical terms, this listing indicates the project funding was tied to Sandy-related disaster recovery appropriations and was intended to support restoration work aligned with those recovery and resilience goals.

Eligibility was described as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. Even with broad eligibility language, the way this opportunity was packaged (one expected award, fixed award amount, and a clearly named project and implementing state entity) strongly suggests it functioned like a targeted or pre-identified project announcement rather than an open-ended competition for multiple different projects.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2014, indicating a very short application window. The announcement was archived on August 29, 2014. For access issues or help with the announcement, the listed contact was Cheryle Lawrence at cherylelawrence@fws.gov, and the additional information link pointed to Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov), where the full notice and any detailed scope, deliverables, or application instructions would have been hosted.
