Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development and Implementation of Dam Safety Training and Educational Courses" (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 MT 041 000 02) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA under the National Dam Safety Program (CFDA 97.041). The purpose of the project is to create and deliver a structured set of dam safety trainings, including both basic and advanced courses designed specifically for State Dam Safety Officials, along with educational courses tailored to dam owners. In practical terms, the work centers on improving dam safety knowledge and capabilities among the public officials responsible for oversight and the private or public entities that own and operate dams, with the end goal of strengthening dam safety practices and reducing risk.
The award is planned as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally means FEMA expects to have an active partnership role during the period of performance. While the summary does not spell out the exact nature of FEMA involvement, cooperative agreements typically include coordination on deliverables, program direction, and alignment with federal standards or national program goals. The funding activity category is listed as education, reflecting that the main outputs are training and educational course development and implementation rather than construction, engineering work, or physical upgrades to dam infrastructure.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. That restriction indicates FEMA was seeking a qualified nonprofit training provider or similar organization with the capacity to design curriculum, develop course materials, and conduct trainings for both government professionals and dam owners.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on May 19, 2010, with an application deadline of June 19, 2010, and it was archived on July 19, 2010. Applicants were directed to find the full announcement and submission details on Grants.gov, and FEMA provided a call center contact (866-927-5646) for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
