Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief, SA 24 Identifying Resilient Sites for Coastal Conservation grant (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00330) was a Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding opportunity designed to support coastal recovery and long-term resilience efforts following Hurricane Sandy. The focus of the program was on identifying and prioritizing coastal conservation sites that are likely to remain resilient over time, using existing scientific research and regional planning tools rather than starting from scratch. In practical terms, the opportunity aimed to help decision-makers target restoration and conservation investments where they would provide the greatest protection and ecological benefit under future storm and climate conditions, including sea level rise and intensified coastal flooding.
A central theme of the opportunity was collaboration. The announcement emphasized working with states, cities, local communities, and partner organizations in ways that directly support the broader Hurricane Sandy recovery mission: restoring and rebuilding national wildlife refuges and other federal public assets, while also strengthening the ability of coastal habitats and related infrastructure to withstand future storms. The intent was not only ecological restoration, but also risk reduction, meaning projects were expected to help minimize damage in future events by improving the natural capacity of coastal systems (such as wetlands, dunes, and other habitats) to buffer storm impacts and reduce erosion and flooding.
This funding was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that FWS expected to have substantial involvement during project performance (for example, coordination, technical input, or joint planning) rather than simply providing funds with minimal agency interaction. The opportunity fell under CFDA 15.677, Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities (FWS), and was tied to the Hurricane Sandy relief legislation referenced as PL 113-2. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowered barriers to participation and made it feasible for a wide range of applicants to propose work without needing to secure additional non-federal contributions.
The total funding amount available for this particular opportunity was $99,989, and it was structured as a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $99,989, signaling that the agency intended to fund one project at that exact amount rather than offering a range of potential award sizes. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full notice on Grants.gov.
Key dates show this was a time-limited 2014 opportunity: it was posted and created on July 23, 2014, with an application deadline of August 23, 2014, and it was archived on August 24, 2014. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Cheryle Lawrence at cherylelawrence@fws.gov.
