Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP) - National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) grant opportunity is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen the National Preparedness System through nationwide training. The central idea behind the program is that achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation depends on building and sustaining "core capabilities" that cut across the full emergency management cycle. Rather than treating preparedness as the job of any single agency or level of government, the program emphasizes a whole-community approach, meaning capabilities are developed and maintained through coordinated efforts among federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, nonprofit, and educational partners.
This opportunity specifically supports training efforts aligned to the five mission areas used in national preparedness doctrine: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. In practical terms, the NDPC training focus is meant to help the country maintain a ready and capable workforce by providing instruction that improves the skills, coordination, and operational readiness of those involved in homeland security and emergency management. The program is positioned as a national-level training solution intended to be broadly applicable and accessible, rather than limited to a narrow region or a single type of organization.
The objectives laid out for FY 2016 emphasize closing real-world preparedness gaps and ensuring that training is tied to measurable outcomes. Training programs funded under this opportunity are expected to provide solutions that address identified national preparedness shortfalls, connect training needs to exercise activities and exercise results, and incorporate the core capabilities framework from the National Preparedness Goal. Another key requirement is accessibility: DHS highlights that the training should be available to a nationwide audience, signaling an expectation that courses, delivery methods, and outreach will reach participants across the country, not just within one jurisdiction.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by DHS under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 16 NPD 005 00 02 and CFDA number 97.005. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a closer working relationship between the federal government and awardees compared to a standard grant, often involving substantial federal involvement in coordination, guidance, or program oversight during implementation. The eligible applicants listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that second category). The opportunity anticipated approximately five awards. The notice was posted and created on June 6, 2016, with an application closing date of July 22, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly reflects that a specific maximum award amount was not provided in the summary data and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or related funding guidance.
Overall, the FY 2016 HSNTP/NDPC opportunity is best understood as federal support for nationally scalable homeland security and emergency preparedness training that is capability-based, linked to exercises and evaluation, and intended to strengthen readiness across the full spectrum of prevention through recovery.
