Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 National Fire Academy Educational Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 USFA 019 000 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. The purpose of this award is narrowly focused and educational in nature: it is intended to support the attendance and participation of a senior fire executive in the three-week Senior Executives in State and Local Government Program delivered at Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of Government. The course is offered twice each year, and the grant is structured to make it possible for an experienced fire service leader to take part in that intensive executive-level program.
This opportunity is classified under the Education funding activity category and is administered as a grant (rather than a cooperative agreement or contract). FEMA anticipated making a single award under this announcement, meaning it was essentially a one-recipient competition for that fiscal year. The estimated total funding available was $22,400, and the award ceiling was also $22,400, indicating the program expected the full amount to be used for the single supported participant. The award floor was listed as $0, which is a standard listing that does not imply partial awards would necessarily be made, especially given the expectation of only one award.
Eligibility for this specific announcement was limited to private institutions of higher education. That restriction is important because it means the applicant of record needed to be an eligible private college or university, rather than an individual fire executive, a local fire department, a state agency, or a public university. In practice, that kind of eligibility requirement typically implies that the institution would apply to administer the funds and facilitate the participation of the selected senior fire executive in the Harvard program, consistent with grant rules and any conditions in the full notice.
There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute a specific non-federal share to be eligible or competitive. Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on August 3, 2011. The original closing date was September 2, 2011, and it was later updated to a current closing date of September 1, 2011. The opportunity archive date was October 1, 2011, meaning after that point it would be treated as a closed historical listing on the federal grants portal.
For applicants seeking the complete official announcement and application instructions, the listing pointed to Grants.gov (additional information link: http://www.grants.gov). If an applicant had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact provided was FEMAs Systems and Business Support Branch (GMD), reachable at SystemsBranch@fema.gov.
