Opportunity Summary:
The Limited Competition Shared Instrumentation for Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief (S10) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-OD-13-006) was a targeted National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement designed to help research institutions recover from Hurricane Sandy by replacing critical scientific equipment that was damaged or destroyed in the storm. The program focused specifically on equipment that already existed before Hurricane Sandy, was actively being used for biomedical research, and primarily supported work funded through active NIH awards. In practical terms, this was meant to restore research capacity and minimize disruptions to NIH-supported projects by helping institutions get essential shared instruments back online.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary grant under the health funding category and tied to CFDA 93.095 (HHS Programs for Disaster Relief Appropriations Act) as a non-construction award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, making it more accessible for institutions that were already dealing with financial strain from disaster impacts. The NIH made an estimated total of $5,000,000 available under this announcement, with an award ceiling of up to $2,000,000 per grant, reflecting an intent to fund substantial equipment replacement needs rather than small repairs.
Eligibility was deliberately narrow and limited competition. Only public and nonprofit domestic institutions could apply, consistent with NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant rules under Section 301(a)(3) of the Public Health Service Act. Eligible organizations included health professional schools, other academic institutions, hospitals, health departments, and research organizations, as long as they were U.S.-based and nonprofit or public. Federal institutions, foreign institutions, and for-profit institutions were explicitly ineligible. In addition, foreign (non-U.S.) components of U.S. organizations were not allowed to apply, reinforcing that the funding was intended for domestic disaster recovery.
Geographic eligibility was restricted to research institutions located in FEMA-declared major disaster areas associated with Hurricane Sandy. The eligible jurisdictions were Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. This limitation was central to the program: it was not a general instrumentation competition, but a disaster-relief replacement mechanism focused on restoring biomedical research infrastructure in the regions officially recognized as having suffered major disaster impacts.
Timing-wise, the announcement was posted on April 18, 2013, and had an original (and final) application closing date of July 19, 2013, after which it was archived on August 19, 2013. The administering agency was the National Institutes of Health. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants website, and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research provided webmaster contact information for access or technical linking issues.
