Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 PHMSA HMEP SPSTG grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HM IAF 11 001) was a discretionary federal grant issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under the Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning program (CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants). PHMSA released this request for applications to support transportation-related hazardous materials preparedness by strengthening public-sector training and planning capabilities tied to hazmat incidents, with the opportunity specifically framed around the needs of the fire service.
Eligibility was narrowly targeted. PHMSA sought applications from national nonprofit employee organizations whose members are engaged solely in fighting fires. In other words, it was not broadly open to all nonprofits or public agencies; it focused on a national-level nonprofit organization representing firefighters as its primary membership, emphasizing a fire service workforce-only membership profile.
The funding profile indicated a single award of exactly $1,000,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $1,000,000, which typically signals that PHMSA intended to make one grant at a fixed amount rather than multiple varying-size awards. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Key dates show this was a time-limited competition posted on April 1, 2010, with an application deadline of June 1, 2010, and an archive date of July 1, 2010. The opportunity was categorized under Transportation as the funding activity area, and the funding instrument type was a grant. Only one expected award was identified, reinforcing the intention for a single national recipient.
