Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP) - Continuing Training Grants (CTG) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically through FEMA. The program is designed to strengthen the National Preparedness System by funding training efforts that help build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities tied to the National Preparedness Goal, which focuses on creating a secure and resilient nation. A central idea behind the program is that preparedness is a whole-community responsibility, meaning success depends on coordination across all levels of government and with partners outside government, rather than relying on any single agency or jurisdiction to carry the load.
At its core, the FY 2016 HSNTP/CTG program supports continuing training initiatives that address national training needs across the five mission areas of preparedness: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. The intent is not only to offer training in a general sense, but to ensure that training investments map to real, identified preparedness gaps. In practical terms, the program aims to fund training solutions that are targeted, outcomes-oriented, and aligned with the core capabilities framework used nationally to define what effective preparedness looks like.
The stated objectives emphasize several key expectations. First, funded training programs should directly address specific national preparedness gaps, suggesting that applicants need to show a clear connection between the training they propose and an established shortfall or capability need. Second, the program expects training to correlate with exercise activities and outcomes, reinforcing the idea that training and exercises should work together: exercises help reveal weaknesses, training helps correct them, and subsequent exercises validate improvement. Third, training content should incorporate the core capabilities identified in the National Preparedness Goal, meaning proposals should be framed in the same capability language used across national preparedness doctrine. Finally, the program places strong emphasis on availability and accessibility to a nationwide audience, indicating that DHS/FEMA is looking for training that can reach broadly and be practical for diverse jurisdictions and stakeholders across the country.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies more substantial federal involvement than a standard grant, such as ongoing coordination, technical assistance, or programmatic oversight during the period of performance. The opportunity is categorized under Education and an additional “Other†activity classification (as noted in the original listing). The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 97.005.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are eligible, along with nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). This wide eligibility matches the program’s whole-community philosophy and signals that DHS/FEMA anticipates a mix of governmental, academic, tribal, and nonprofit partners contributing to national preparedness training.
The opportunity was posted with a creation date of July 18, 2016, and an original application closing date of August 22, 2016. The listing indicates an expected number of four awards. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which commonly means the ceiling was not specified in the synopsis record (rather than implying no funding), and applicants typically would have needed to consult the full funding notice for precise award size expectations, allowable costs, and any funding limits.
Overall, FY 2016 HSNTP/CTG is best understood as a targeted federal investment in continuing homeland security training programs that can demonstrate measurable contributions to nationally defined preparedness capabilities, connect training to exercise-driven improvement, and deliver accessible training offerings at a scale that benefits stakeholders across the United States.
