Opportunity Summary:
The Fire Service Hazardous Materials Preparedness and Response grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 USFA 093 000 01) was a discretionary grant program offered through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under FEMA, specifically connected to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). The purpose of the program was to support the distribution of practical, usable information to the fire and emergency services community, emergency managers, and other local government officials on how to better plan for, reduce the impacts of, prevent, and respond to hazardous materials incidents. A key point in the program description is that these hazardous materials incidents were understood broadly and explicitly included acts of terrorism, meaning the program aimed to strengthen readiness not only for industrial or transportation-related hazmat events, but also for intentional, hostile scenarios involving dangerous substances.
From a funding and scope standpoint, the opportunity was relatively small and focused. FEMA anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total program funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was also $50,000, effectively indicating one grant at or up to that amount, while the award floor was listed as $0 (a standard technical listing that does not necessarily imply awards of zero dollars, but reflects that no minimum was guaranteed). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so eligible applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with recognized 501(c)(3) status from the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In practice, that means the program was geared toward qualified nonprofit entities capable of developing, organizing, and disseminating guidance or educational information for the fire service and related emergency management audiences, rather than funding being directed to colleges or universities under this particular announcement.
The opportunity was categorized in Grants.gov as a grant funding instrument under a USFA grant program, with the activity category labeled "Other" and clarified as a U.S. Fire Administration grant program. The associated CFDA number was 97.093, which corresponds to Fire Service Hazardous Materials Preparedness and Response. Administrative timing details show it was posted and created on March 19, 2010, with an original and final closing date of April 19, 2010, and it was archived on May 19, 2010. The listing referenced Grants.gov for additional details and provided FEMA support contacts for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, including the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and the email address ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
