Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA discretionary grant effort intended to strengthen preparedness capabilities across state and local governments. The program is built around a capabilities-based approach, meaning the focus is on identifying real-world preparedness gaps and then targeting assistance to close those gaps in the highest-priority areas. In practical terms, HSPTAP is meant to help homeland security and emergency management personnel improve how they plan, coordinate, train, and build sustainable readiness for major incidents, including terrorism-related threats and other large-scale emergencies.
A central theme of the opportunity is alignment with the National Preparedness Guidelines. The program is designed to support the full range of mission areas and national priorities identified in those guidelines, and to build the specific target capabilities that jurisdictions need to carry out prevention, protection, response, and recovery functions. Rather than offering generic support, HSPTAP is framed as a needs-driven technical assistance program that responds when capability gaps are identified. It emphasizes putting resources where they will have the most impact, especially when states and localities face limited staffing and funding.
The announcement highlights several design principles for HSPTAP. It is intended to be agile and responsive to present-day needs, which implies the program can adapt its technical assistance offerings as new threats, requirements, or lessons learned emerge. It also stresses knowledge transfer and institutionalization, meaning the goal is not only to provide one-time help, but to leave behind tools, practices, and expertise that can be maintained locally over time. The program is also described as performance-based, reflecting an expectation that activities supported under the award should be tied to measurable improvements in preparedness outcomes and capability development.
HSPTAP assistance is described as direct support to a wide range of stakeholders, including state, regional, local, and Tribal jurisdictions, as well as other homeland security organizations. The overarching purpose of that assistance is to improve the ability of these entities to prevent attacks, protect people and infrastructure, respond effectively when an incident occurs, and recover afterward. This framing makes clear that the technical assistance is meant to support the entire emergency management cycle, not only response operations.
From a funding and administrative perspective, the opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an active partnership role for the federal agency in carrying out the work rather than a hands-off grant. The Funding Opportunity Number is DHS 11 NPD 007 000 02, and the CFDA number is 97.007 for the Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program. The total estimated funding amount is $275,000, with an award ceiling of $275,000 and an award floor of $0. Only one award was expected.
Eligibility for this particular posting was restricted to the National Governors Association (NGA), listed under the eligibility information as the only eligible applicant. The opportunity also notes that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in accordance with the terms of the award. The posting date was September 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2011, and an archive date of October 27, 2011, indicating a very short application window consistent with a targeted, limited-eligibility award.
