Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP) is a discretionary FEMA funding opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security intended to strengthen state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) capabilities across the full emergency management cycle. The central purpose is to help jurisdictions prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major incidents, including threats or acts of terrorism. Rather than funding direct equipment purchases or large-scale operational deployments, this program is framed around technical assistance and coordination support that can raise readiness nationwide by improving how partners plan, share information, and align efforts with national preparedness priorities.
Under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), FEMA proposes to provide financial assistance specifically to support two established national coordination bodies: the National Homeland Security Consortium (NHSC) and the Governors Homeland Security Advisors Council (GHSAC). The NHSC is described as a forum that brings together public and private sector disciplines to align perspectives and efforts on protecting the United States in the modern security environment. It consists of 22 national organizations representing local, state, and private-sector professionals, which positions it to convene stakeholders, identify cross-cutting needs, and encourage consistent approaches across varied disciplines. The GHSAC serves as the primary structure for homeland security advisors from each state, U.S. territory, and the District of Columbia to discuss policy and operational issues, exchange expertise, and keep governors informed about key homeland security challenges and priorities. In practice, supporting these two entities is meant to amplify coordination and knowledge-sharing so that preparedness improvements can scale across jurisdictions rather than remaining isolated.
The program’s overarching goal is to build SLTT capabilities in ways that advance the National Preparedness Goal. FEMA indicates that this will be achieved through “various means and methods,†reflecting an emphasis on capacity-building activities such as convening stakeholders, facilitating collaboration, sharing best practices, and promoting consistent preparedness approaches that strengthen the broader national preparedness system. The underlying idea is that better coordination, shared expertise, and unified planning across stakeholder groups can improve readiness for high-consequence events and help the nation remain secure.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), which typically signals a higher level of federal involvement or partnership during project performance. It is categorized as “Other†for funding activity, with the expectation that the work is specialized technical assistance and preparedness support rather than a conventional program area like training alone or infrastructure. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, which aligns with the intent to fund national nonprofit partners that can operate convening structures and provide ongoing support services. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 97.007, and the posting identifies FEMA (within DHS) as the issuing agency.
Key dates and award details provide the practical boundaries of the competition. The opportunity was created on July 19, 2016, with an original application closing date of August 19, 2016. FEMA anticipated making two awards, consistent with the stated intent to fund support for the NHSC and the GHSAC. The award ceiling is listed as $275,000, indicating the maximum federal amount per award under this NOFO. The funding opportunity number is DHS 16 NPD 007 00 01, and the official title is Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP).
