Opportunity Summary:
The CVVFA Protecting Emergency Responders on Highways opportunity is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) discretionary grant issued as a cooperative agreement to support highway and roadway incident safety. The central goal is to continue an existing federal partnership with the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association (CVVFA) through its Emergency Responder Safety Institute, focusing on improving how emergency responders and transportation/public safety partners manage incidents on or near roadways. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen tools, technology, and coordinated systems that help responders operate more safely in high-risk highway environments while also reducing hazards to drivers and passengers moving through or around incident scenes.
A key emphasis of this award is nationwide information sharing, specifically the ability to capture and distribute lessons learned from roadway incidents across disciplines. The intent is to ensure that transportation agencies, law enforcement, fire and rescue services, EMS, towing and recovery, and other emergency personnel can more consistently apply proven practices when responding to crashes, disabled vehicles, hazardous materials events, and other roadway emergencies. By improving how these lessons are shared and applied, the program aims to reduce secondary crashes, limit responder struck-by incidents, and support quicker, safer clearance of scenes, which directly benefits both responders and the motoring public.
This funding opportunity was structured as a single, fixed-amount award, with an expected number of awards of one. The estimated total funding amount was $115,000, and both the award ceiling and floor were set at $115,000, signaling a sole-source style arrangement tied to the specialized partnership described in the announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to a specialized group: the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association (CVVFA). That restriction reflects the purpose of the cooperative agreement, which is not to open competition broadly but to continue ongoing work with the specific organization operating the Emergency Responder Safety Institute and carrying forward responder safety initiatives related to roadway incidents.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 6, 2010, created on May 26, 2010, and originally set to close on May 3, 2010, with the closing date later extended to May 28, 2010. The archive date was June 2, 2010. The official listing referenced Grants.gov as the source for full announcement materials. For access issues or help with the announcement, the contact provided was the FEMA Call Center at 866-927-5646 and the email address ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
