Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 IAFF Redmond Symposium on the Occupational Health and Safety Hazards of the Fire Service grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 USFA 105 000 01) was a discretionary Department of Homeland Security program administered through FEMA. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expected to have an active role in coordinating or shaping the funded work rather than simply issuing a pass-through award with minimal involvement. The overall purpose was narrowly defined: to fund the IAFF John P. Redmond Foundation to carry out communications operability and interoperability outreach as part of the 21st Redmond Symposium, a long-running event focused on occupational health and safety hazards faced by firefighters.
The funding scope and scale were limited and targeted. FEMA anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was also $50,000, effectively indicating the maximum amount available for the one expected recipient, and the award floor was listed as $0. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was restricted to nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they were not institutions of higher education. While the eligibility categories were broad on paper, the description makes clear the intent was to support a specific foundation and a specific event-related outreach activity, rather than to run an open competition for a wide range of applicants or project concepts.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 19, 2011. The original closing date was September 30, 2011, and the listed current closing date was September 29, 2011. The announcement was archived on October 29, 2011, indicating the application window had ended and the opportunity was no longer active after that period.
The program was categorized under “Science and Technology and other Research and Development” for the funding activity category. Even though the symposium is an operational and practitioner-focused forum, the outreach emphasis on communications operability and interoperability fits within broader federal priorities related to emergency communications capabilities, coordination across agencies, and the translation of lessons learned into safer and more effective field practices.
For additional details, the announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov (www.grants.gov). For access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact was FEMA’s GMD Systems Branch via email at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov (as provided in the source data).
