Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA, designed to strengthen state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) preparedness capabilities. The program sits under the broader Homeland Security Technical Assistance Program (HSTAP) framework and focuses on helping jurisdictions prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major incidents, including terrorism-related threats or attacks. In practical terms, the grant supports technical assistance that helps SLTT partners align with the National Preparedness Goal and apply consistent doctrine, best practices, and lessons learned across the homeland security enterprise.
The work supported by this program is centered on information-sharing, professional development, and convening the right stakeholders to spread workable approaches across the country. Anticipated activities include producing and distributing written products on emerging homeland security issues, as well as documenting established or model state homeland security practices that others can replicate. Another major activity area is delivering educational seminars that orient newly appointed Governors Homeland Security Advisors to federal homeland security doctrine, core principles, and widely accepted best practices, helping them quickly operate effectively in their roles. The program also emphasizes ongoing collaboration by facilitating recurring calls, meetings, and structured discussions among key stakeholder groups so they can exchange current information, operational experiences, and approaches to new and evolving threats. In addition, the program supports convenings such as trainings, workshops, and other meetings that bring together a nationwide audience of Homeland Security Advisors, state, local, and tribal Emergency Management Directors, and other public and private sector professional organizations, with a particular focus on understanding how federal homeland security legislation, regulations, and policy changes affect state and local operations.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or oversight compared to a standard grant. FEMA anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $525,000, with an expected award size ranging from $250,000 (floor) to $275,000 (ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible applicants and allows project budgets to be built without requiring non-federal contributions.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The program is identified under CFDA number 97.007, titled Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program. The opportunity was posted on July 6, 2015, with an original closing date of July 22, 2015, later updated to a current closing date of July 17, 2015, and an archive date of August 16, 2015. The funding opportunity number is DHS-15-NPD-007-000-01, and additional details were available through Grants.gov. For assistance accessing the full announcement, FEMA provided a point of contact through the GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
