Opportunity Summary:
The Monitoring Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Associated with Shoreline Protection, Fog Point, Martin NWR, Maryland grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00204) is a Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding announcement tied to Hurricane Sandy disaster relief efforts authorized under PL 113-2. The project focuses on supporting a shoreline protection effort at Fog Point within Martin National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland, with a specific emphasis on monitoring submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). The core purpose is not only to collect site-specific monitoring information, but also to ensure that the monitoring approach is aligned with broader statewide monitoring protocols, data systems, and analytical methods so that results can be compared and incorporated into larger regional assessments.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the FWS expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating methods, ensuring compatibility with existing protocols, and guiding data management and reporting expectations). The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $60,000, and the award structure is straightforward: the award ceiling and floor are both $60,000, indicating the agency anticipated making one award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. Only one award was expected under this announcement, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of applicant), subject to any additional clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on June 24, 2014, with a very short application window, closing on June 27, 2014. The CFDA number associated with this funding is 15.677 (Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities FWS). For access issues or questions related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cheryle Lawrence at cherylelawrence@fws.gov. The announcement later entered archive status on May 28, 2016, indicating it is no longer open and is retained for historical recordkeeping.
