Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 National Dam Safety Program (NDSP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 15 MT 041 000 01) is a discretionary grant administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. It is designed to strengthen and sustain state-level dam safety programs by helping states develop, maintain, and carry out the core activities needed to reduce dam-related risk. The focus of the program is mitigation and risk analysis as it relates to dam safety, supporting the practical work state programs do to prevent failures, improve preparedness, and protect people, property, and critical infrastructure downstream of dams.
This opportunity is limited to eligible applicants from state governments, reflecting the NDSPs role as a support mechanism for statutory state dam safety programs. In other words, the funding is intended to help states run and improve the official programs responsible for oversight of dams within their jurisdictions, rather than funding unrelated infrastructure projects or private dam owners directly. The underlying purpose is to ensure states have the capacity, tools, and program structure to take appropriate precautions and maintain consistent safety practices across regulated dams.
The grant uses the standard grant funding instrument and includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning participating states are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward supported activities. While the notice does not specify a minimum or maximum award amount (both the award floor and ceiling are listed as 0), the program projected an estimated total funding amount of $7,591,711 for FY 2015 and anticipated up to 51 awards, aligning roughly with nationwide participation across states and eligible jurisdictions.
Key administrative details include a posted date of May 15, 2015, with an original closing date of June 26, 2015 that was extended to a current closing date of June 29, 2015. The opportunity was archived on July 29, 2015. The program is associated with CFDA number 97.041 (National Dam Safety Program), which is the federal catalog identifier applicants and grant managers use for tracking and compliance.
Applicants seeking full announcement materials and application instructions were directed to Grants.gov (the notice includes an additional information link to http://www.grants.gov). For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, FEMA provided a contact point through the GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
