Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP), run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA, is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen homeland security and emergency management capabilities across states, localities, tribes, and territories. The central idea is to improve the nation s ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major incidents, including terrorism as well as natural disasters and other man-made events. The program is intentionally aligned with the National Preparedness Goal and the broader National Preparedness System, meaning it is meant to support the mission areas and core capabilities that underpin national readiness.
The grant focuses on providing practical technical assistance and coordination support rather than funding response operations or equipment. Key activities include developing and sharing written materials on emerging homeland security issues and proven state-level approaches; organizing educational seminars that help newly appointed Governor s Homeland Security Advisors understand federal doctrine, best practices, and core principles; and running regular calls, meetings, or structured discussions among stakeholder groups to exchange current information, lessons learned, and workable approaches to evolving threats and policy challenges. Another major component is convening trainings, workshops, and national forums that bring together Homeland Security Advisors, State Emergency Management Directors, and partners from local and tribal emergency management and relevant professional organizations, including stakeholders in the private sector. These gatherings are also intended to help participants understand how federal homeland security laws, regulations, and policy changes affect states and their partners.
A distinguishing feature of HSPTAP is its emphasis on building and sustaining nationwide networks and forums where leaders and practitioners can coordinate, compare practices, and develop shared understanding. Recipients are expected to create or maintain venues for exchanging ideas, conducting targeted discussions, and delivering technical assistance to governor s offices, associations, and organizations on key homeland security policy areas. FEMA envisions recipients working closely with the agency to develop, transfer, and institutionalize knowledge at the state and local levels, so improvements persist beyond a single meeting or publication and can be adopted as standard practice.
Substantively, the program supports cross-discipline coordination on complex homeland security and emergency management issues. The scope includes intelligence sharing; homeland security organization, structure, and governance; communications interoperability; critical infrastructure protection; and an all-hazards approach to prevention, protection, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The program explicitly recognizes that effective preparedness involves many fields and agencies, so it encourages collaboration across emergency management, homeland security, fire services, law enforcement, EMS, agriculture, the National Guard, emergency communications, and public works, among others. It also aims to incorporate perspectives from state and local elected officials and the private sector so national stakeholders can use that input as a practical sounding board when discussing policy and implementation challenges.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity was posted July 21, 2014, with an application deadline of August 1, 2014, and an archive date of August 31, 2014. FEMA anticipated making 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $525,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $250,000 (floor) and $275,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The program is identified under CFDA 97.007 and the funding opportunity number DHS-14-NPD-007-000-01. Additional details were available via Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact FEMA s GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
