Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2008 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSTAP), also referred to in the listing as HSPTAP, is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) discretionary funding opportunity designed to provide technical assistance to help state and local jurisdictions manage their Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) programs more effectively and efficiently. The award recipient is expected to deliver or support hands-on technical assistance services that strengthen how jurisdictions plan, organize, and run CIKR-related activities, with a focus on improving program management and practical implementation rather than simply funding equipment or operations. In the eligibility notes, the program is tied to the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource (CIKR) Asset Protection Technical Assistance Program (CAPTAP) and is described as a targeted award, meaning the government had already identified the intended recipient rather than running an open competition across a broad pool.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that DHS FEMA anticipated substantial involvement in the project after the award is made, such as ongoing coordination, direction, or collaboration on deliverables and technical assistance priorities. The program fell under the Homeland Security preparedness mission area and was associated with CFDA number 97.007. The anticipated number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of 200,000 dollars, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligible applicants were listed as city or township governments, but the targeted-award language indicates that, in practice, the opportunity was not broadly competitive despite the category of eligible entities.

Key timeline information shows the notice posted on May 19, 2008, created on May 29, 2008, and closed on June 2, 2008, with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date. The archive date was July 2, 2008. For applicants or interested parties seeking the full solicitation package, DHS directed users to Grants.gov and provided step-by-step instructions: use the "Find Grant Opportunities" area, run a basic search using the keyword "HSPTAP," open the listing for the Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP), and then download the application instructions from the application section.
