Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 National Dam Safety Program Cooperative Technical Partnership grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 041 000 01) is a discretionary FEMA grant under the Department of Homeland Security designed to support the goals of the National Dam Safety Program authorized by the Dam Safety Act (Public Law 109-460). The core purpose of this opportunity is to strengthen dam safety nationwide by encouraging the establishment, improvement, and long-term maintenance of effective state dam safety programs, with a particular emphasis on improving safety outcomes for non-federal dams. Alongside program development, the grant focuses heavily on practical capacity-building through training, education, and public awareness activities that help states and stakeholders prevent dam failures and reduce risks to downstream communities.
For FY 2012, FEMA proposed a single award totaling $300,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and no stated minimum award floor. The funding activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting that the work is technical in nature and oriented toward developing and delivering specialized training and educational resources. The grant includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some level of non-federal support in addition to FEMA funds (the specific match ratio and allowable forms of match would normally be detailed in the full announcement on grants.gov).
Eligibility for this specific opportunity was limited rather than open competition. While the general eligibility category is shown as "Others," FEMA identified the Association of State Dam Safety Officials, Inc. (ASDSO) as the eligible applicant in the announcement. ASDSO is a nonprofit organization that has served as a Cooperative Technical Partner since FY 2010, and FEMA intended this FY 2012 funding to continue that partnership. In practice, this means the grant was structured to fund ASDSO to carry out specialized national-level training and education efforts that complement and support state dam safety programs.
The funded work described in the opportunity centers on the development and implementation of dam safety training and education courses. These courses are intended for a broad audience that directly influences dam safety outcomes, including state dam safety officials, dam owners, dam safety professionals, and members of the public. The emphasis on multiple audiences signals that the program is not only about technical engineering or regulatory knowledge, but also about building consistent practices across states, improving owner and operator decision-making, and expanding public understanding of dam-related risks and safety responsibilities.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on September 6, 2012, and closed quickly on September 11, 2012, with the archive date listed as October 12, 2012. It is associated with CFDA number 97.041 (National Dam Safety Program), which is FEMA's long-standing federal assistance program for dam safety activities. For applicants or stakeholders needing access to the full announcement, FEMA provided a contact point through the GMD Systems Branch (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov), particularly for those who had difficulty retrieving the notice electronically.
