Opportunity Summary:
The AFG FPS Vision 20/20 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 GPD 044 000 99) is a discretionary Department of Homeland Security, FEMA grant issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 97.044 (Assistance to Firefighters Grant). It is a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the Fire Prevention and Safety (FPS) portion of the AFG program by improving how FPS applications are evaluated and selected for funding. Rather than primarily funding local prevention projects directly through this award, the intent is to build better knowledge, evaluation methods, and practical tools that help the FPS grant program identify which proposed projects are most likely to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries in U.S. communities.
At the core of the announcement is an emphasis on behavior change. FEMA signals that effective fire prevention and safety efforts should focus on the high-risk behaviors that contribute to fire fatalities and injuries and should support applicants that can teach cognitive skills that translate into safer actions during fire-related emergencies. In other words, the cooperative agreement is meant to help the AFG/FPS program prioritize prevention strategies that do more than raise awareness; it aims to steer funding toward interventions that measurably improve decision-making and actions when people face real-world fire hazards.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA anticipates being actively involved in guiding the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The announcement specifies that FEMA will make one award and that the award will be issued to a specialized eligible applicant: the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), U.S. Branch, with direction and assistance from the AFG/FPS grant program office. This makes eligibility effectively restricted to that organization for this particular notice, reflecting a purpose-built partnership arrangement rather than an open competition among many applicant types.
Funding for the award is up to an estimated total of $230,000, with an award ceiling of $230,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is identified as Homeland Security Public Safety (listed under an "Other" funding activity category with that explanation). The solicitation was posted June 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2010, and it was archived July 18, 2010, indicating it was a time-limited opportunity with a short application window.
For access and administrative support, the opportunity points applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and provides FEMA call center contact information (866-927-5646) for assistance if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically. Overall, AFG FPS Vision 20/20 is best understood as a FEMA-supported effort to sharpen the FPS grant program's decision-making so that prevention dollars are directed toward interventions most likely to change risky behavior and reduce fire loss of life and injury.
