Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 PHMSA HMEP SPSTG grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: HMI AF 12 001) was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. The announcement was posted March 31, 2011 (created April 5, 2011) with an application deadline of June 1, 2011, and it was later archived on July 1, 2011. The program sits within the transportation funding activity category and uses a grant as the funding instrument.
The purpose of the request for applications was narrowly focused on supporting hazmat-related public sector training and planning activities through a single national-level award. PHMSA specifically sought applications from national nonprofit employee organizations whose members are engaged solely in fighting fires, meaning the eligible applicant pool was intended to be limited to firefighter-only national nonprofit employee organizations rather than a broad set of state and local agencies, universities, or private entities. The opportunity text does not list additional eligibility details beyond that description, and it flags that applicants should refer to the announcement's "Additional Information on Eligibility" field for clarification.
Funding was structured as one award total. PHMSA expected to make exactly one grant, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor were set at $1,000,000, which effectively means the program anticipated a single fixed-size award rather than multiple awards of varying amounts. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement electronically, PHMSA provided a support contact: Carrie Brown Winslow, PHMSA Grant Support, reachable at 617-494-3318 or by email at Carrie.Winslow@dot.gov.
