FY 2012 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2012 Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program (HSPTAP) was a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA-sponsored discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen and sustain state and local preparedness capabilities through targeted technical assistance. The program was framed as a capabilities-based effort, meaning it focused on practical, measurable readiness outcomes rather than broad or purely conceptual planning. Its overall purpose was to help state and local homeland security personnel improve their ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from major incidents by aligning their work with the mission areas, national priorities, and target capabilities described in the National Preparedness Guidelines.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant. In practice, that structure typically means FEMA expected to collaborate with the recipient during implementation, provide substantial involvement or oversight, and ensure that the technical assistance delivered stayed tightly connected to federal preparedness doctrine and capability targets. The funding activity category was listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, signaling that the work may have included developing, refining, or institutionalizing tools, methods, training approaches, or other assistance products that support preparedness capability building, even if the end users were operational state and local agencies.

The total funding amount for this competition was set at $275,000, with both the award ceiling and floor also listed as $275,000. That effectively means it was structured as a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award levels. Consistent with that, the opportunity anticipated one award. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, so the selected recipient would have been required to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the terms of the announcement, rather than relying entirely on federal funds to cover project costs.

Eligibility was narrowly defined. The eligible applicant identified in the announcement materials was the National Governors Association, and the listing categorized eligible applicants as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement. In other words, it was not an open competition for the general public, local governments, nonprofits broadly, or universities, but instead appears to have been intended for a specific organization positioned to provide nationwide or multi-state technical assistance support to state and local stakeholders.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DHS 12 NPD 007 000 01 and CFDA number 97.007 (Homeland Security Preparedness Technical Assistance Program). The opportunity was posted on August 17, 2012, and had a very short application window, closing on August 24, 2012, with an archive date of September 23, 2012. Applicants and interested parties were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements and instructions. For technical issues accessing the announcement, FEMA provided a contact point through the GMD Systems Branch via the email address GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
